Brownies and Peanuts

Second day and I'm starting to feel American. I slept 12 hours instead of 5 hours I slept yesterday! In the morning we left for shopping - we went to shoe shop and Wall-Mart. I found 6 earrings at the price of 5$! We visited to Visitor Center and we're planning to visit "Dixie Stampede" which is kind of big horse show and a restaurant at the same time. There are all kinds of western program going on while eating in a big hall. We cought an ice cream in McDonalds on our way home.

Tonight some (??) are coming here to barbeque. I've been planning to go cycling or riding golf cart. It's so weird, almost everyone in this part of Marion has golf cart. Actually it was told in Lions Youth Exchange rules that we're not allowed to ride any kind of vehicle, but Dave, who has been working with Lions for a long time in high position, allowed us to do so. Probably he doesn't consider it dangerous. On Friday we're going to some Lions who has a beach house in Murrels Inlet, there's a boat show and firework (Independent day!!). We're also going to local baseball game this week, I guess it's a game of some junior team since the field was quite small. But I was also promised that I'll be taken to REAL baseball game in Myrtle Beach. Everything is centered around Myrtle Beach! Looking forward to getting there!

In the evening we went riding golf cart around Marion. Those houses are so beautiful, those would cost millions in Finland, and they weren't even expensive!! I'm not allowed to go to the east side of the town. East side is "The Dark side", where poor, black people live. Today we had barbeque, hot dogs, hamburgers and corn (can't it get any more American?). Anyway I loved it, hopefully I'm not gonna eat that way every day! Dave puts so much butter on his corn. It's gross.
SEE YA!
