When I first arrived Charlottesville, I thought I may need a lot time to feel comfortable to this new culture. But the truth is that I felt pretty good in the help of Donasons.
In the first of the weekend, they picked me up at my apartment and this was our first meeting. There are four people in their family. Neal, Thea and their two son Kevin and Ryan. Then they took me to the Humpback Rocks. This was my first hiking in US. The hiking was so great especially, they introduced me a lot of local plants. Many of them were hard to pronounce and remeber, and most of them I never heard before. But that’s fine. I really enjoyed this process to learn. That may be 1 hour’s hiking. When we arrived the top, I really felt I liked this way, blue sky, green forest and fresh wind. You can find us in the photo.
After hiking, they took me back to their house and have dinner with them. Kevin and Ryan told me what was the most traditional American food, cheeseburger. I’m not sure about this, but I really had a lot of delicious American food at that night.
I really enjoyed with my host family. And they really helped me a lot
