The mountain was really steep and of course covered in snow so I couldn't see where I was putting my foot each steep. And Lili kept throwing snow balls at me!! Anyway we spent like an hour and a half going up this thing, not even on the trail, we were hard core trekking straight up the side of the mountain! At least it was really pretty the whole way and had an amazing view of the entire city.
At the top there was this little farm area place and we saw a deer and a goat! then Lili and I pretty much fell asleep on a playground swing.
Going down went much faster. we got to slide down on these cool little plastic devices. At some points we were just sliding on rocks and tree roots but its was crazy fun, and impossible to control or slow down.
When we finally got back to their place we ate an apple strudel and drank hot tea. Then played a few rounds of Uno. I love my first host family so much. I have such a great time hanging out with them still. They were such a perfect match for me. After Uno, We all sat in the living room, I was sprawled out on the carpet, Lili was on the couch above me and out parents were sitting across on the other couch. And just talked to them about everything. About the people in my class, parties, school in America. It's exactly the kind of thing I would do back home with my mommy, sitting on the kitchen floor. I feel so comfortable with them.
It was a really fun afternoon. I can't wait till next time I get to see them.
