DAY 01: 2/14 (Sat.)
cloudy
Arrival, Full Day Excursion
We arrived at Seattle International Airport around 09:30 a.m. and met Mrs Laura Campbell, our teacher guide from FIU. We then started on a full day excursion on a van. The weather was good enough to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the State of Washington.
We
first visited the Bellevue district and went to a major
shopping mall, spending some time looking around the place.
We had lunch at a diner called
"the Triple XXX
Rootbeer Dive-in" in Issaquah.
The place was famous as one of the oldest drive-in restaurants in Pacific Northwest, and was full of car accessories
and gadgets. The hamburgers they offered were so big that we shared one
with three of us. We also tried rootbeer for
the first time, and it tasted good. French fries became one of our favorite
foods in America through our program.
We later visited Boehm's Chocolate Factory, Snoqualmie Falls, and Northbend Outlet Shopping
Mall.
Around 5:00 pm our van reached the parking lot of the study center, and there we met our host families and left for our American home.
