Zoo and pizza parties

9th of November, Sunday

I started my day with Skypeing my parents quickly, before Herb drove me to the zoo.
  I was invited by Alma, to come with her and her fellow AFS exchange students to the zoo, so I could meet them. So I went there at noon today. The exchange students were really nice (of course, we are all nice). There were about 10-15 kids there today, but there are almost 30 in the area with AFS. There are a lot of kids from Italy and Germany here, but I've met one or two from Switzerland, Thailand, Ukraine, Tunesia, even New Zealand. No one from Hungary.
  So we spent a lovely (and cold) time at the zoo. The most interesting animals were the orangutans (because there was a tiny baby), the polar bear, who had a wild night of partying before, and the elephants. This zoo was smaller than the Toronto zoo. We spent two hours there.
  Most of the group went to Devan's house afterwards. We had pizza and a good time. At 3:45, Herb, Anne and Sun came for me, and we went to Brad and Sandy Shea's house for yet another pizza party, to meet my next host family, the Greenauers. Other than us four, Brad, Sandy, Kim and Syd, Kim Masiello, Mike, Abbey and Larry came too. I had a wonderful time talking to all of them, and getting to know more about the people I'm going to live with from January.
