Super Bowl

In our efforts to peeper us for our journey, and because we don't think you have to sleep at night, we are going to watch Super Bowl, the biggest sport event in the US. We have invited some of our friends that also think that sleep is overestimate and with help of a lot of the typical American beer Bud it's hopefully going to be fun.
This year the Chicago Bears are going to try to defeat the Indianapolis Colts. So of cause if I have to pick one team it's going to be the Chicago Bears, the home town of Mikael's American family. I also read that Prince is going to sing at the halftime entertainment...yeay...that´s going to be...did I mention that we're gonna have beer? Or something very close anyway...
I have never seen a game of American football and I´m not completely sure how the game works, but Mikael has promise to explain the rules to me. I know the basics; get the ball to the opponent's "goal area"and most of the time they trow it but sometimes they kick it. Sadly it's not going to be football season when we visit the US, it would have been fun to watch a game, but we're going to try to watch a baseball game instead, an other big American sport.

And how did it really begin?

So why are we going to San Francisco? *humming the famous song* It began this fall when we got the invitation to Andy and Jess´s wedding.
And who are Andy and Jess? When Mikael was 17 years old he was an exchange student at Main South High School in Chicago and lived with Andy's family. So Andy, Shannon, Rob and Marge is Mikael's American family. This also explains why we're writing this blog in English. This is going to be a very interesting experience for me, because I haven't written anything in English since High school. I hope that my new American family will understand me anyway.

And so it begins...

Today we payed our tickets for the trip to San Francisco in May.
