Elections

America has got a new president:OBAMA

everybodys talking about that, so I'm gonna talk about that too

the last week everything was focused on the election, everytime you turned on the TV you saw a debate, speech or political commmercial, pretty interesting for me;)

but now it's over because the president is finally elected, I was watching the news yesterday and it was pretty interesting how they made projections about whos is gonna get teh electoral votes of several states, when they only had about 1%of the votes, but they were right every time.
Last weekend was very exciting for me, because I went to my firt real Footballgame in Alabama,

The old university of my hostdad was playing against Arkansas state University and they won 35-0

First on Friday I checked out earlier from school, so we could leave in time. We drove 6 hours staight through Atlanta and to Birmingham. Between the driving we kids were watchin movies in the back of the car.







This is Atlanta , a very big city, with a lot of skysctatchers















Welcome to Alabama, the beautiful, what a pity that the picture is so dark, but it's the sign at the stateborder between Georgia and Albama

















Dreamland, one of the most famous Restaurants there, with the best Ripps ever

















Those Ripps were our Lunch at that day, but it wasn't actually Lunch, because we had them at 10 o'clockin the morning, so between Breakfast and lunch^^
















Hmmmmmmmmmmm, I guess thats me with the best ripps ever, super delicious and nerver forgettable


















Welcome to the University, where the game was























Right on the University in front of Fils old school building














After more than 3 hours game, tired, sweety. sunburned, ...

but it was a great experience!!!!!












In Birmingham we first had problems to find our Hotel, but we finally got it with our Navi, after checking in ew had dinner at a very famous chinese restaurant.

we had a reservation for 8:30, and were there at out watches at 8:20, and the lady at the welcome counter told us to wait a little bit, so we waired as everybody else.

after half an hour, nobody wanted to wait anymore and so we asked again, and what was the result??: another timezome, 1 hour behind our time, and so we were there actually at 7:20, over one hour earlier!!!!!!!!

Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then saturday, there was the game and we went to Dreamland for 'lunch'.

after that we drove to the actual universityplace, where already so many people were there. most of the people lust go there with tents, chairs and TVs to watch the game there on TV, kind of crazy!!!!!!

and the game was so awesome, 2 hours before it started the players came into the stadium, and after them the Marching Band, so good. They were about 300 people in there, playing, dancing
