A post about yesterday, because we were to tired after a long day yesterday.
We woke up at 9:30 AM, took a shower and got ready for breakfast. We ate some cereals and afterwards some watermellon.
Then we made a tour on the campusof the White Mountain School: we saw Cathy's and Jonathans classroom, a sporthall, the library,... (The science building was under construction) Actually this school is a bording school and we're staying in a boys dorm (so we,ve a huge bathroom for the two of us), and our hall is connected with the appartment. Different from our school in Belgium is that they may use a laptop, they can choose between some projects, they go skiing/snowboarding too, ...
Afterwards we took together with Jonathan, Simba for a walk; we took the biopath, where we saw a lot of granite (like in whole New Hampshire), one of the rocks was called kitchen rock, because someone painted kitchen stuff on it. There were a lot of different mushrooms on our way.
When we were back, we stepped into the car and we went to lincoln. On our way we stopped at a spring to fill some bottles with water. We drove through Franconia and stopped at an Iron Furnice. We drove by the old mans head; this is a rock formation that looks like a head; it's the symbol of New Hampshire, unfortunately the head fell down a couple of years ago.
When we arrived in Lincoln (a very crowded place), we searched something to eat, we found a little restaurant, called Gypsy's; Vincent took a panini sandwich with tuna, tomatoes and potato chips, Kurt got a quesadilla, it's a toasted tortilla with melted cheese inside, I got one with portabella mushrooms.
We jumped back into the car and got to our next stop,the basin; it's something the water sculptured through the years (you can see a photograph). We made a little walk there, it's a very touristic place too, a lot of people were sitting near or in the water (brrr, it was really cold).
Boise Rock is a rock where as the legend tells us, a man slept under, with only the skin, he took from is horse; he stayed alive while there was a really nasty storm. (Other people say that the horse ate the man and stayed alive that way, we think the first story is more likely).
Our next halt was a bridge where we had a really nice view of Lafayette, one of the mountains there; on the other side we could see Vermont. We also stopped there, because Ben, to conquer his fear of heights, rappelled of this bridge.
We headed back to the White Mountain school, but stopped for a little while at an antique shop.
Back home, we posted some photographs on the site and we went for a walk to the top of the hill, we saw a toad.
We got back for dinner: spaghetti, a salad and some bread.
Afterwards we had an evening walk to a little lake accross the street, where we saw some bats, we walked a bit further, but turned back, because it was getting to dark.
When we we're back we got some icecream and started watching "Gangs of New York", but we were to tired, so we got to bed and didn't write our blog yesterday.
Time is flying, Kurt and Vincent.

hey mannen,wat hebben jullie daar het leven. Heeft niemand schrik van die grote leeuw. Half de spoed van Palfijn heeft er naar gekeken
Hello Vincent and Kurt, the host and the hostess and everyone who reads this.
When one would have tried to realise this journey 50 years ago,it would have been an impossible project. When one would have tried to do this 10 years ago, it would have been chaotic in the realms of communication. Thank you WWW, thank you Nokia...
America is a product of philosophy. I think, although its history is rather short, you'll be able to experience the greatness of its culture, aren't you?
The blog gives us a good impression,of your life there. The pictures also help us to image ourselves of where and how you spend your days.Please keep them on your camera, because the quality on our PC is not hundred procent.
There are still a lot of questions remaining. Is the weather not too hot? What about thinking in and speaking another language? Did you become real orators now?...
Beware of your weight! Think about your condition, you must be able to go through the following weeks.
Thanks again to everybody who helps you to realise these unforgettable days.
Now we are going to watch Kim Clijsters in the final of the tournament of San Diego (USA).
Enjoy yourselves and you'll read from us soon.
The Vermeersch family.
