Today, wake up earlier than those last days : 8:15 am. I had a appointment on Skype to see my family and especially my grand mother by webcam. It was really great to see her and funny that she was impressed by the new technologies. I was really happy to see her smile even though I am miles away from her.

The breakfast was better than yesterday but Céline still didn't have the opportunity to try the breakfast we had before her arrival. We hope that this was because of the week-end and everything will return to normal tomorrow. As promised, I only ate sweet food : pancakes and fruits.

Having our faces washed, we decided to move to Princeton to show her the university sport fields and the town at daytime. When we arrive near the basketball complex, there were some barriers which must means that a game was due today. We will try to watch one of these during our stay here.

As we were waiting for the rest of the group to be ready, Céline, Alexis and I went to the apartment to show her how big it is. She was quite impressed by the garage and the size of the different rooms. She can't wait to see it furnished.

For lunch, we went to the Italian restaurant where we bought our pizzas on wednesday night. To change from all the fat we wait these last days, almost all of us took pasta. Céline and I had veal cooked differently : with mushroom for her and with tomato and mozzarella cheese for me :). The meal was really delicious and we finished it with a nice tiramisu :

As we were afraid to see the shops at New York City closed, we decided to go to Ikea to had an idea of what to buy and how much it would cost. The trip was long since the store is located near the Newark Airport (almost 35 miles). The American Ikea is not really different from the French one except that the Hot Dogs are better :p. On the way back, we tried to take the highway and I think we will use this way next time : it is faster and use less gas for only $2.

Back at the hotel, we met Benoît who arrived today. He came with his girlfriend Alexandra who will live with him during his internship. Both of them were tired because of the flight and the jetlag. We will drive them to the car rental tomorrow morning before going to New York City.

As we wanted a calm evening, we went to the Cinema to watch Cloverfield. Céline and I took a medium Pop-corn with hot butter and a medium drink. It is amazing how big things are in the US, the drink was bigger than any big soft drink in France and we only ate less than the half of the Pop-corn ... About the movie, the beginning was nice but the end sucks like hell.

As written above, tomorrow schedule : drive Benoît to the car Rental and direction NYC !
