On Saturday morning we went to the farmer's market. There were a lot of people. We met Liz and Lena there. We also bought good cakes.
Then we went tubing, sailing, and going on jetski on the lake. It was so fun! I love tubing, although Emma and I once fell out. But it was so fast that I didn't have time to be scared. Even after falling out we continued tubing...
There were 6 GYI participants at Liz's lake. Emma, Joe and Liz (USA), Alan (Taiwan), Lena (Germany) and I (Russia). It was mix-up of countries. So it was fun! We played cards. Lena taught us German games, such swimming and ashlax. We had a really good time!
In the evening we were sitting around the fire and sharing out deepest secrets in native languages. Alan talked in Chinese, Lena in German and I in Russian.
About food... Dinners were excellent! We had American snacks, hamburgers, pork, soda, cola and other tasty things. Liz's mom taught us how to cook, and we made the dinners together. When I'm back to Russia I'll cook American meals--The food was so good.
So it was the best weekends in my entire life. I'm grateful to my host family for spending this wonderful time.
On Sunday evening, I Skyped my parents. They were glad to see my happy and excited face.
