Everybody was tired and didn\u2018t feel ready to fly to the final destination, but what choice did we have?! We arrived at the airport at 5:00 AM, our flight went 8:05 AM. I was really happy to be on the same flight as another girl from Switzerland.

I had a seat at the window, but the Slovakian student next to me wasn\u2018t very talkative so I didn\u2018t have anything else to do other than staring out of the window or sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we arrived at the airport we went to get our baggage, which is where my host family has already been waiting. They gave me a cowboy hat and flowers. In addition they had made two posters to welcome me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They greeted me and we took a picture together before going to their car and getting brunch. During the car drive I was so relieved that they all reacted so well while picking me up and I could feel that they want my company &lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/B058C487-7157-4C66-9E0E-1E3ABED226B7-577x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/B058C487-7157-4C66-9E0E-1E3ABED226B7-577x1024.jpeg 577w, https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/B058C487-7157-4C66-9E0E-1E3ABED226B7-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/usarahshighschoolyear.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/B058C487-7157-4C66-9E0E-1E3ABED226B7.jpeg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><figcaption>So at 11:30 we were already at a barbecue restaurant and ate brunch.
