Cali-trip: San Francisco (7. & 8. Day)

Hey guys, 
So this is the last story of my California adventure..

DAY 7
We woke up and went to  the one and only Golden gate bridge !! You don't even know how long I wanted to see this beautiful Bridge :) We walked until the half and guess what we did the craziest thing : WE KISSED THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE ...well if you know our squad you would know why.

Later on we went to the fishermans warf and Pier 39, which was really nice. We went shopping in the little stores and ate lunch there. The Clams chowder soup was actually awesome even if I don't like fish as much. We even went to a small cute cupcake bakery, we had the best cupcakes in different good flavours. 

After the little lunch break we went to the Alcatraz Prison ! I was soo excited to see this because of all the stories I've heard ! We went there by a ferry and had audioguides with us so we heard really interesting stories about it. 

As we came back to the Hotel we had our Goodbye banquet and the Party. All the girls got ready together and we looked flawless :D haha when I say that I'd think of Elli saying this idk why...

Oh well so we got there and we had really good food and the whole squad sat together ! As we all ate our brownies Mathilde started with her funny sentences, in case you don't know she always does or says things (which could have a different meaning) without thinking about it. So she said one thing and the whole table bursted in a loud laugh, she almost choke on her food ! Well we still love you tilde ! One highlight of the banquet was the Awards, the day before we could nominate different people for awards in different catagories. Almost the whole squad one something, guess what I won ?
Right, the award to most likely to work as a character at the universal studios ! YAY ! 

As we all we were full we went to a big room, where we had a last day Party, it actually was a really fun night. We danced the night away and had contest like Limbo or Hoop spinning ! Even if some of our moves looked like weirdos ( Jas ) we had fun ! We also learned some african and turkish national dances.. thanks to Elli and Murat ! I said Goodbye to some other friends there and we took our last pictures... here's one ! PS: FIND ME !

Well arround 12 ish we went to our Room to go to sleep or at least for the next hour before the guys and the other girls room came over to have an all nighter... Not everybody stayed up with us but that was fine cause some of them had to leave arround 3 am ! Jasper and I thought it would be a GREAT Idea to drink coffee to stay up, well that worked at first but then we had our complety disfuctional phase. First we were reaaally hype.. we all even had a pillow fight :) then we started to get tired real quick and it felt like we were drunk or on drugs ( which we weren't !)... after a little nap we all talked and later on said bye to the first squad members. 

DAY 8

The last breakfast followed soon and we enjoyed the delicious waffles for the last time. It was sad as everybody left, but we knew we're gonna see each other again. I left arround 8 with some of my squad members cause the flew with me or at the same time ( Rodrigo, Toni, Krys ). The flight was terrible, I sat in the last Row and they had turbulances. After a long flight and saying goodbye to Rodrigo in Chicago, I finally arrived at Grand Rapids where my host dad got me.

I quickly felt asleep, dreaming about my Adventure in California. With the most amazing, fun Exchangestudents and friends I know. I can't wait to see them all again this summer :)

Love Maxine
