Boston in its variety



Yeah this was my first meal in the States =)) We went to Ihop.... yeah... never again =D




Ok here begins the Boston part. The city has lots of parks, just like in Ukraine, except here they are much cleaner, you can walk on the grass and the animals are very tame. I personally fell in love with these cute furry ones =))




We went to The Cheesecake Factory. To convey this to an average Ukrainian, imagine that you came to a huge restaurant, where someone is already having a wedding banquet... and they want you to join. =) The food is delicious, but the quantities....

While some food selections clearly conquered my imagination.....


.....other foods just kept me away.....
(those are lobsters, or омар)

USA..... Not so much UA...

Yep, we finally arrived in America couple of weeks ago. We spent 5 days in Boston (... Boston in the fall is gorgeous!) visiting Will's one of the best friends Kyle who blessed us so much during that time. Then we came down to San Francisco, where we stayed at Jordan's house and they played video games all night and ate TacoBell... =) (Will really missed that one. McDonald's in Ukraine just didn't cut it for him =))) Next day ,to add to our perpetual travelling, we came down to Nipomo, Southern Cali, the town where Will's sister lives. So that's where we are staying right now, with a pitbull and a bulldog in a big nice house. The thing I can't get used to though is that you go to a grocery store once a week... because it's in a different TOWN! It's huge though, all the food choice you want, but if you forget to get meat, you'll have to go vegetarian for the next week...
On sunday we went to Calvary in Arroyo Grande (that's where Cara Denney is from), we met a lot of really awesome people, particularly the family through which Will got saved, the Shephards.
Right now I don't have much to do at home except to embroider and bake (which doesn't sound very exciting...). Will is going to start working on Monday (yeah, the whole Diablo Canyon thing didn't work... they never responded). I am waiting for my Green Card... Yeah, so there's not much going on right now, you could say =)
