Usa, Missouri

So, after the school I did something really different. Instead of going to my hostfamily right away I went to my relatives in Missouri, St Louis. My relatives there are my granduncle, his wife and their little baby and it was gonna be the first time I was ginna visit them so I was really exited, cause the first time I think I said I wanting to visit was when I was 15, so 5 years later I could finálly do it.
At first they took me to the arch, which is a really high building looking like a horse shoe haha.
so we went up with a weird train to the top and it was really high, about 630 feet, which is higher then the Statue of liberty..the scary thing is that when I and my aunt was up there the arch moved, it like shifted a little from one side to the other, and when we asked they said that it does that..haha, there is nothing wrong.
Then we went to eat, (or maybe we went before) and the thing that hit me was that yes, the rumours are true, Americans are fat. The majority of the people there were insanly obease, that was a really strong impression. Another thing was that they had no sidewalks, they drive all over, that is also true.
But I have to say that st Louis is pretty nice, they have a nice park and u can see the mississipi river which I thaught was cool..
The humidity was insane there though and it was really hot.. u did not want to leave the house because the second u came out u were in need of a shower. But since I only was there for a few days we were active and doing a bunch of things.
One day we went to this palce with a really fun river, it was like an adventure park in the nature, the river had a bunch of rocks that made little waterfall and there was a stream strong enough to drag u along. we also went to a place with really cool rocks, and there were lizards and weird bugs in thoose woods...
I did spend alot of time indoors too, since the baby could not go for very long adventures, so I got to play with the baby and the dog alot, and I got to see my uncles collection of train modells. It was so cool, I have never seen anything like it in a persons home.
In his basement he had build up a lot of mini raliroads and trains and it was like a little city, every childs dreams..and I bought him a windmill to joing the city haha..
Overall, I had I really good time with them and they treated me so nice, I could almost say like a queen. The last day when I was heading back to Newark it was really sad, it was hard to leave them, but I had to get on that plane, back to Newark.
