June 14th, it was the big day. After 10 years I would go back to my hostfamilies in Denver. 10 years ago... it sounds so long when you say it.
The suitcase was ready, not to heavy and there was chocolate in it. I know they just love the Belgian chocolat over there.
Not a big fan of flying, but I went on the plain for my long journet. First flight to Chicago. It was a great one, thanks to some medicine to help me to calm down a little bit. Next flight, the one to Denver. I was starting to get a little nervous now. Is that airport still the same, am I going to recognise Nancy, my hostmom for the first week... Getting out of the plaine, I started looking for the baggageclaim... I think I had to take a train... but were is that train. So I started walking and finally, I found my suitcase. Ok, but now... I have to see that I can find Nancy... after 30 min, I found her.
It was so amasing to see her again. It didn't felt like it was 10 years ago. I felt like yesterday that I left her place.
Getting in to the house of Nancy and Terry, felt like coming home. "If you still know were you can find everything in the kitchen, just take it, don't ask is, you are home here." I even got my room back from 10 years ago. After learning how to make bananabread and Meatlove, they took me around for a week to show me some beautifull places. We went to Estespark, a tea factory, had a leasy day in front of the tv... it was amasing to be back.
After a week, Gene and Greg came to pick me up. They are the family I stayed at for 4 week during staging. I was so happy to see them. I had a great time, we went in to the Rocky mountains 2 times, ones for a roadtrip all the way around in the mountains, to beautiful lakes and ons to the Rocky Mountain National Part, it is so amasing. I maybe love the Swiss mountains, but these are also so beautifull. Walking around there, you smell the pinetrees, you see chipmunks that come to look for food. That is nature... we had some great talks and BBQ's in the evening. It was so great to see them again. And maybe I haven't been in touch
with them, it was amasing seeing them again and having a great time with them.
Ok, at this moment, there is no chocolat in my suitecase anymore, but there are a lot of new clothes in it.
So, now it is time to go, on the plain again, all the way to Tucson, AZ, that is the place were the reunion will be this year. I can't believe that I will see 'my people" again.
