U.S.A ; Michigan,Cleavland and NYC.!

Size 4XL , I'm not even kidding!

Just like every summer , I went to the states . Leaving slightly sad because of having to say Good-bye to a close friend who was moving, I was decided to make the most of my trip this year . I had the great news that I was going to see my adorable 3 year old cousin wich I adore , so that cheered me up .

The thing is ; I hate airplanes. I REALLY don't like them . I get nervous weeks before and sincerely believe I will crash . So , well , my holidays didn't start that well...
°°°°

Thank god , that changed. I went for 2 weeks ( again , like every year ) to YMCA Storer comps in Michigan . I can't even describe how much I love this place , the people there are amazing , I could go on for hours about it , but i'll just stop here :)

With friends from camp :)

After camp I helped my Uncle( Jim TOWNSEND)'s campain who is running for State Democrat Representative of Michigan by giving out pamphlets and making calls :D AND HE WON THE FIRST ROUND!!!! YEEEAH JIM!

I then went up to my family's old cottage on lake Michigan with cousins , in a residence called '' Pointes aux barques ''. It's a gorgeous kind of secret place , hidden to the outside world in the woods next to the transparent waters . Canoeing, vintage store shopping, disovering the woods and driving the golf carts like mad all over the place (YES ! I can now drive a GOLF CART ! I feel so responsible. ) were in the planning.

After all this , my family & I went to Cleavland where my brother and I went for a whole day to Cedar Point . If you don't know what this is , it's one of the biggest Roller coaster parks in the world. We had a great fun day , and I have to say ; I ALMOST won a giant fluffy gorilla... ALMOOOOST.
The next day we went to the Rock&Roll Music Hall of fame . If you have no idea of who , or what music was before year 2000 , don't go . It's interesting if you like Elvis Presley , Buffalo Springfield , Eric Clapton ( On a sunny afternoon... ) , The kinks ... Wich I do . But it's practicly just alot of clothes , objects and guitares that used to be there's.

Then went to NYC , and loved it again :) But then , how couldn't you ? Was in a nice 'Holiday in' in Soho next to China town , wich was first because I had never been into China town , always around it . Went to Ground Zero wich got me thinking for a while , and then obviously Time square wich was great fun as usual . :)

Seriously , no joke, I went LEVI'S and it is now one of my favorite stores EVER. It is FULL , and when I say this I really mean it , of amazingly hot guys walking around looking for jeans . The people there are so nice & helpfull ( I got complimented on my hair ! ) and the clothes are amazing ( though , I admit expensive . But hey , what are Sales for ? ;) ).

Hope this was intersting !
