My host family made me a special book documenting my time with them in Austria (the first 5 months of my exchange). This book was full of pictures of all of the things we did together, and I regard it as the best gift I could get - ever. It is so personal, well made and overall just amazing. I could not ask for more. I can not even begin to express my thanks to them. I will gold on to it my whole life, I am sure. Also I figured this post would be a good place to post my class pictures I received on Friday. I then proceded to lose them at the movie and regain them with Beni on Saturday.

"Dear Jackson, it is very nice to have you with us. We have experience a lot from you, you are a  pleasant,  full-of-love and polite guest and integrated well into our family. We wish you to have many adventures and experiences for the rest of your stay in Austria. You are warmly welcome anytime with us (also in many years with your family). All the best, Agnes, Ernst, Clara, Beni and Jakob."
