rhode island/connecticut


vania read a poem in bulgarian. it was gorgeous. so was the translation.

a guy in our cast is a bellydancing instructor, so he showed us his sweet moves!

we had an expression session in rhode island and this was a song a few of the staff members sang for us.

this was an old cemetary in boston where the boston massacre victims, benjamin franklin, and quite a few other famous people were buried

parade of cows!

the parade of cows was in west hartford while we were there...

new yowk


these are all the girls hosted in one house this week. our host mom tie-dyes clothes and sells them and let us all pick a shirt out! I love them!!!

a tiny chunk of times square from where we were rehearsing in front of macy's!

we had to bundle up for macy's!!! long johns were a must!

this was one of the balloons in the parade. i didn't get to see much considering i was IN in... good times!

this was our crew for thanksgiving! it was so much fun!!
a few of us got up at 3 am the day after macy's to be on the today show!! it was freezing, but we got on tv 3 times!!! :)

this was later in the morning when we broke out our international costumes!

i've discovered a whole new world!!! :)

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
