For German people I think it is always a dream to go to the States. We know that big country from TV and we are so impressed by that country. When my mother asked me if I wanted to go there I was not sure because I was 17 years old that time and I did not want to fly to the States on my own. But I finally did and it was a great time I had in the USA.
My mother's friend from Germany is living in Lexington near Boston, MA with her family. They have been in Germany before and I already knew them. I went there in August 1994, it was the first time for me in a plane but everything was fine. I was looking forward to be in the U.S.A. I enjoyed the flight and when I was fetched from the airport in Boston I was very much impressed by the drive to Lexington. Everything was like in TV and even better. I liked the malls, the nature, the new cans I bought for my collection and I even liked walking down the streets. It was great to be at the places we talked about in our English lessons, the Freedom Trail, The Old State House. Well, before I start dreaming... . I have been in Lexington for about 6 weeks and also attended Lexington High School for some weeks.
Today a really would like to go again to the States but at the moment it will not be possible at all because I will have to study from 2000 on. I hope I will be able to go to the US again some day!? OK, now enjoy the pics below!
