Travelling: ON

I wrote my last post almost a month ago... Here is the time to write again, since I'm not in the camp anymore, I starteed to travel around the United States, however this year I travel only on the East coast, starting it with the capital, Washington D.C..
During the last month in the camp, there was almost nothing interesting, the kids had many various programs, a Netflix week then holidays and so, the staff member also got some presents from the Santa, including some Legos for us! :) There were a lot of good byes in the past 2 weeks, luckily we will meet in the next summer or in Budapest with the Hungarian crew.
At the end of the 1st of September I starteed my travelling from Boston South Station to Washington D.C., while I was waiting for the bus I got into a conversation with a girl who is from Isreal and she was here with Camp America, so with a similar program through another company. As we arrived to D.C. our road got devided I went to my hostel and she met her friends. I started to explore the neighberhood, there are a lot of things to see and visit in D.C.. On the second day I started to visit some museums, starting with some free one. The first was only opening at 11.30 am, and it was only 11 am, so I walked around and found a small gallery where I could get in, it was a quiete surprise for me to see the ASL in real, coz this gallery had an exhibition with deaf artists items and there were some groups inside paying their attention on the presenter who used the ASL. Previously I saw it only in the Switched at Birth series. After that little trip I went back to the entrance of the national gallery where I heard some French words at the entrance, later inside I heard again, so I asked the girl if she is from France, but No! she was from Brussels, Belgium, the world is so small... We talked a few words then we split and both of us continued his/her journey. (: Afterwards in the afternoon I went in the Spy Museum, which was really interactive and visual with a little game inside! This wasn't free, but totally worth that 23 dollars, however I had only 2 hours in which wasn't enough to go through everything insude.
Today I had to walk a lot to reach my final destination, the zoological park, but it was pretty nice!

Grill party at Eric, the boss

 On the last Friday the second session ended in the camp, so we had to do the power wash again, we started the day  abit earlier to finish it all in one day, so we could have two days off and on Saturday we went to our boss' place and had a great day, started with his wife's nice car a Nissan Juke Nismo.
 As we arrived to him we looked around and checked what else we need to buy for the grill and went for a small shopping. We had the party in his wife's parents house near to the pool, we were talking about many topics about our countries and so.
 At the evening we took a taxi to get in the Downtown to visit the city's main places and end in some bars to finish the night.
 After a few drinks we decided to go home, so we took a taxi, since we couldn't find any Uber near.

2nd trip to Boston

This Friday all the kids gone from the camp and we had to make a big cleaning in all bathrooms to make them look nice for the next session. Afterwards we were chilling with the kitchen staff.
On Saturday all four of us from the maintenance team had a day off, so we prepared for Boston again to see it in a sunny day. WE were lucky and it was sunny all day, however the blue metro line was out of order, so we couldn't reach the beach we wanted to, but we still made a nice trip. First we went to Cambridge, the city of Unversities, and we spent some time on the different parts of Harvard, we visited the law school, the business school and also the sport centrers. After a long trip in Harvard, we had lunch in four burger's fast food restaurant and then decided to go the beach, where we couldn't, but instead we end up in a beautiful shore of the ocean, a harbor where we had a brilliant view of the city.

4th of July


4th of July is a big day for all Americans, however we didn't notice any big happenings in our camp, we had the dinning hall decorated and we had our dinner under the sky. Also during the night, there was a movie for the kids and we also joined them to watch it, it was fun to watch a movie outside, it almost looked like a car cinema in small. We also heard some fireworks from the neighbourhood, but unfortunetly we couldn't see any of them.
