Pennsylvania, West-Virginia, Ohio

After a stressfull last two weeks of school I've finally made my way into the fun months of this year. I have nothing to do, no worries on my mind and will soon be returning home, so it's time for me to really enjoy everything around me.
There was graduation, a couple of parties and then monday I took of to go visit my aunt Mary in Pennsylvania.

The bus left at 11pm, and after dinner at a friends house I left rainy NY. I ended up sleeping on the bus, not even noticing the storm that suposivly went on that night. At 6.15 am,45 min early, we arrived in downtown Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was a change coming from NY. Hills filled with greenes surrounding the city and friendly people working at the coffee shop.
She even gave me directions, allowing me to meet up with Steve(Mary's son) and Hallie to drive down to Georgetown.

We had breakfast on the way and after about 1 hour we arrived at the house. Gosh it was nice, birds singing, the smell of grass, I could see some farms around.
Mary and I talked and I got to know more about them.
I played a little with Katie, the little girl and later on in the afternoon Ciara came home. We had a bbq dinner and then Mary and I went back to her home, downstairs, and I ended up falling a sleep at 7 pm sleeping allthrough the night waking up at 10 am. I guess I really needed some rest.

Mary and I had breakfast and we drove to West-Virginia to see the graveyard where the Nutters are burried. I saw the graves, that lay up on a hill overlooking the westvirginian farmland. To get up there you had to drive up this old country road. On our way back, we crossed the river, over to Ohio. She showed me west-liverpool where she had grown up.

I'm really seeing a whole other side to the US by beeing here. People are nice and the pace is slow. The grass is green and the sky is blue and all you can hear for miles is dogs barking and birds singing.
