san francisco!

the days are lazy now, we have one week off! but last weekend we went to san francisco. the rain just don't wanted to stop but the rest was just amazing. we went to see cirque du soleil. a kind of circus with a spectacular show. we saw alot of things but i definitely have to go back there.. and it will be in two weeks!! :) but anyway, on sonday kathy, the sister of my hostdad took us down to the pier 39. there are lots of little shops and also a "rest place" for sea lions..

from this place we also saw the the golden gate bridge and the famous prison alcatraz!

the acatraz prison

another exciting thing was the cable cars! back in the 1870 they used horses to transportate people but after a horse accident Mr. Hallidie had inspiration for a calbe railway. 

do you see the rainbow?:)

san francisco is also famous for their victorian houses. they where built in the gold rush but sadly the half of the victorian houses are broke after the earthquake and the fire in 1906. on the right you can see some.

and as we where walking we also met the campers from the occupy wall street. 

i really had a great weekend!

and i'm looking forward to go again.. and what's also very exciting..! my birthday's coming up!! uuhh

We're in san francisco right now and in a view minutes the cirque du soleil's gonna start! It's aamazing! We're all having a great time! :)

the day after the sickness day!!

i'm really happy that i went to school today. because i had suprdrupr day because i really have so nice friends and it's always fun! yesterday, when i stood home and didn't go to school, i almost got depressed .. S: so good thing that school exist. haha i never thought i'm gonna say something like that. but yes in my situation it is a good thing and it is the truth. I NEED TO STAY BUSY. otherwise homesickness comes up! 
so today i didn't go running because i still didn't feel so good.  but i did show up in cross country practise. and my lovely super coach came to me and gave me something soo cool! he's very worried about me because next week is already the last meet. and it is in fort bragg and he really wants to have me in a good preparation.

anyway he gave tons of vitamine C bags which i need to drink every morning and a huuge box ( it looks like a milk box) with salt in it. it's called EPSOM SALT . he said i need to take a bath in it when my legs are sore from running . haha but when i looked on the box it says " a saline laxative for short term relief of constipation" so this means it makes me that i can **** !!!! haha "constipation" means "verstopfung" i love my coach! :))

i'm never gonna be sick anymore!

so after practise i went to the volleybalgame. it was the last volleybalgame from the season and they won! craazy cool! :)

tomorrow will be a big thing: it's called BEAT THE BIRDS and it is the footballgame tomorrow. because kelseyville's gonna play against lakeport. and there we could have a chance to win. we'll see. and there are also gonna be shows from the military and so one. i don't know what else is gonna be there but i'm gonna make pics for you!

i'm tired and soo looking forward to go to bed!  love, lisa

and the senior quot is: "home's where the heart is and i built a second home here in kesleyville. thanks to everyone for making my year unforgettable!"


the senior quote's gonna be also in the yearbook next to the picture.

HALLOWEEN!!

on halloween, i had my first trick or treating! it was just soo fun! i went with katie, devin, julia, amber and david. i got alot of compliments because of my banana dress. i think that's why i got some many candies. ;)


in school some people where also dressed up:

heather as a grecian queen

zach as a monkey

butterfly and gangster women ( i really don't know what she was) 

angie as a which

for trick or treaty we went first to lakeport. and omg there where sooo many little boys and girls in the streets who made trick and traety of course the parents where with them because they where afraid that someones get kidnapped or something stupid like that. 

 probably the oldest kids in the streets but nevermind wee goot candiies!! :)

everybody screem: trick or treaty!! :) so many people with their childrens

my first "lili dog" i ever saw since i'm here!! i was so happy you know because back in switzerland i have a dog like this and i miss her! 

ahaha some families where very creative like this one: this man splashed warm wather on you but it was dark so you really thought it was blood!!! aah and after i took this picture this stupid scarry man came to me and splashed more "blood" directly in my face. i was screeming soo hard! scarry scarry. 

uuuuhh! that's what i got!

so today i'm staying at home because i'm sick. i think i got a cold because of the banana dress. ;) i just phoned with my dear mother and father. i miss them!!!

love lisa! <3
