It's pretty cool here in America. The flight was very long and boring, but well, we're here... Then we went to Glencoe Elementary school, where we got to our hostfamilies with one of our friends. Most of them have nice houses and our 's got a whirlpool, too ( isn't that coooool?). We've had already our first concert with our partner orchestra in Portland-Oregon on saturday and it was great. We've got a full programm every day: downtown shopping in Portland, swimming (not really) in the Pacific Ozean, visit a big truck factory, spiritual chinese garden, and we had a whole day with our hostfamilies The next days we will go up to the Mount Hood, have more concerts and lots of rehearsals... With best wishes and greatings.
