North Platte, Nebraska- August 9 2006

Im in Nebraska!!! Wow, I never thought that I would actually go to Nebraska ever in my life:P Its weird! I like it though.. North Platte is a small, cute city of 30 000 people. Not very much to do around here.. I live with Cindy Bradley and she has a foster girl at the moment, Amanda. Shes 17 and works in pizza hut. Their house is like a doll house, very cute and I have my own room and a pc in my room, which is great! I dont have any roommates though, and thats kind of sad.. I miss Siyi and Rachel (my roommates in Denver). And I miss Denver a lot.. That was home to me, and the Flynns were my parents and Rosie was my sister, and now I may never see them again.. I got very attached to them. Cindy is a very nice lady, but since Im only here for a week, I dont think I ll get that attached, which is good. I cant believe that I ll be moving every week, changing home and bed and habits. Its weird! But its very exciting!

First day was good, we saw a documentary film on Nebraska and how North Platte helped during Second World War. (soldiers stopped there on their way to east coast). We went to a local barbeque for charity and sang and we had a lecture on leadership.. I had dinner with my host mum by a big lake,which was beautiful!

Tomorrow Im having lunch with the Rotary Club, just me and a couple a people, so I get to tell them a few things about Cyprus. Should be fun!
