Sam D - 4th month in Steamboat

Hi everybody!

Here is my first article on that blog so I hope you'll enjoy it!
First of all, I want to say thank you to all of you to give me this opportunity, I couldn't be more greatful!
A lot of things happened in for months so I'm gonna try to go over most of the great things I had the chance to do.
The first month I spent here, I did a lot of hiking with Gareth Mensing, I've been on mountain Zirkel,
Hahn's peak, pearl lake, etc.

We had a great time doing all of this!
After that, I went to the Rotary Inbound orientation camp in Douglas, I had the chance to meet a lot of great people from all around the world and created great friendship with a lot of them. The trip to douglas was very interesting because Mike took me in his little plane to laramie an tought me how to "pretty much" fly it, That was so cool!

Next month, it was Homecoming week, we made a lot of great activities an I had a great time. The next weekend, My second host family, the rabesa's, took me to fruita to do some mountain biking, it was amazing!

Not long after that, I went to denver with the mensing's, I loved it, Denver is a great city! A special event was happening on that weekend. A thousand of zombies invaded the 16'th street to walk and scare people, it was crazy, some of the dressed up people were just terrifying!

Halloween is definitly bigger than in Belgium, I had a great time walking in the street with my friends and see everybody dressed up. I was dressed up as the mad hatter from Alice in wonderland.
With me, I had a little worm named Carmelo, he did a great job!

For Thanksgiving, we went to Santa Fe, this was a blast! I met my best friend from Belgium who is doing an exchange in Los Alamos, it was so much fun, we have seen some beautiful backgrounds!

Not long after that, I moved to my second house with the Rabesa's. I also started snowboarding. I'm already addicted!!! I just love the snow!

As a conclusion, I will just say that I am having the time of my life! Thank you so much!
