sorry, blogger has been down for a while but, it's back. anyway, since my last post i went to Baltimore! ther isn' that much to do in baltimore. we went to Fort McHenry and the aquarium. ther was no dolpin show as one of the dolphins just had a pup. at Fort McHenry there was a video about it, and at the end most people stood up to sing the the star spangled banner. once knowing the song, everyone else stood, put their hand to their heart, and sang. i stood but didn't know what to do. afterwards we all went on a water taxi. on the way back to the hotel we were staying at, Grandma made a big fuss to anyone who would listen, if she had an excuse. i just asked why this little girl had a sticker from fort McHenry. If you are under 15 0r ove 60 you get in free. if you paid youget a sticker. her parents said that she got one because she sang the star spangled banner to the staff. of corse Grandma made a fuss saying, "Grace couldn't do that,she's from New Zealand!" or" she wouldn't know that but she could sing the new zealand national anthem!" but now i'm back here. talk later!

Today was awesome. We went on this tour of Philidelphia as well as seeing the constituton museum. During the tour we learnt that that person who desighned the love sculpture, love park Plilidelphia, made it with a wonky o. whenever people asked him "Why did you do a wonky o?" he would say "because love is not perfect". this makes sense as all of his marriages didn't quite work out. His name was Edmond Bacon, you may be more familiar with his son, Kevin Bacon. Love park is the best place for skateboarding in America, but unfortunately skateboarding is baned. Edmond was annoyed that not all people could all enjoy this amazing park. In a partition against this, at the age of 91, Edmond Bacon skateboarded in this park and as a result, was fined $220. He never boarded again. We also saw the original liberaty bell and it's crack. Did you know that Philidelphia was the capital of America in 1790-1800? At the constituton museum, the was this amazing talk on us deciding and being a democracy. There was also facts on slavery wich made me almost cry. All those African-Americans, going through all that pain. We had the best aisian food I have had in ages... It was very entertaining as it was all vegetarian!! That means sweete and sour pork made of walnuts or spare ribs from baby corn. All the meat was not meat but veges. We also had mock duck. My cousins came over tonight and are staying. Tomorrow I will hang out with my three cousins {all under 5 - 13 months, 3 and 4} We had the worst chocolate EVER!!!! Horrible flavours, sooo sour and sooooo inventive bad it doesn't help. I mean flavours like cranberry with extra sourness, honey, sour bilberry {in the blue berry family}, rowan berry/mountain ash berries and black current.
