Texas is very different from my country both in nature and climate as in people and environment. The places I stayed at were really warm and there were almost no trees. All plants looked different and even the grass felt different to my feet. A lot of the insects were unknown to me or bigger (some smaller) as I'm used to. For the first time in my life I saw cockroaches! All people are really friendly in Texas and all shops are really big and far spread from each other. The roads are much wider as I'm used to and the cars driving them are mostly bigger than the ones I see in my country (loads of pick ups!) You can see that they have a lot of space in Texas, which we don't have at all in my country. It was a really nice experience to be able to live there for two months.
I'm really happy that I met Sonaj's friends and some of his family. I've seen the schools Sonaj's been to, his houses and a lot of other places where Sonaj spends a lot of his time. I know now which world Sonaj lives in.
Being back in my country I am COLD (It's autumn here now) and of course I really miss Sonaj. I really hope he'll be able to come to Belgium soon and I'm really curious about what he'll think of my country!

Church. Church in Texas was a lot different than in my country and I kind of liked it. They sometimes talked about very inspiring and interesting subjects. There was a live band each time and they'd play for about 30 minutes!
Cotton plantations on our way back to Dallas.
Views.
The day before my birthday we went to Six Flags. I haven't been in many attractions since they looked so scary but I've been in this one! The batman ride! Sonaj has been in almost all of them.
The whole park was Halloween themed. There were 6 haunted houses and we went into all of them. It was really fun.
Superman attraction in the background.
Mr Freeze. Really scary attraction. Sonaj went into it.
The newest attraction. Sonaj didn't go in this one since it was too scary.
Sonaj is in this attraction!
The day after my birthday we went to the State Fair. There was a mini zoo! Here's a kangaroo with baby and a turtle.
Baby giraffe.
Piggies!
Donkeys!
We stayed at Katy's again. She has two big dogs and this is one of them. Hunter! He's really sweet.

Picture of the blue blue sky that I miss now.
We went to the biggest mall of Dallas, the grapevine mall. This is a picture of the rain forest café we visited. The food wasn't that good but it was really nice inside.
For my last dinner in Texas Katy took us a burger place at a close by lake. You can see the burgers on my food post. It was a really cozy place (and there were ducks).
Back home I got this new iPhone cover from my mother!
Thank you Sonaj for letting me stay that long. Spending so much time with you was amazing. Just waking up aside you, being able to have lazy days with you and cook for you... Doing all those simple things with you was amazing. It made me realize I can easily spend so much more time with you. Even after spending 2 months day in and day out with you, I never got tired of being around you. If I could I'd step on the first plane back to Texas to be with you again. Thank you for everything!
