I went to watch a movie with Christian and Dyana. We watched "Murder on the Orient Express." The movie was really nice. We had fun watching it. In the evening, I went out to dinner with all of my host family, because it was my last week with them. We had Greek food.

I went to meet my neighbors' two little kids because my host mom said they really wanted to play. I missed my little brothers and sisters from back home so I spent time with them playing games. My host dad and I went out for a walk with the dogs. We went to Lake Calhoun Park. It was super cold so we went to have hot chocolate.

This was my last day with my host family. In the morning, we went to the Rotary meeting. We packed boxes for people who don't have anything to eat for Thanksgiving. It was fun doing that. I changed my host family in the evening. I was excited to meet my new family, but also sad to leave my first host family. For dinner, we went out to a Chinese restaurant and we had fried rice.
