(The Museum)
Finally friday:-P Actually the week as past by so fast i cannot believe it! - We started the day at Texas History Museum, where we watched a short movie in a huge IMAX theatre. That was pretty cool. The movie was about some of the things Texas is known for all over the world. Very interesting. The rest of the museum was actually not so interesting, but okay:-)
Thomas and I waiting outside the museum:-P
Afterwards we had a lot of hours free. Morten and I decided to visit a Christian bookstore we had found on the interenet. It is called "Family Christian Store". It was quite large and had so many books, bibles, study materials and so on. I walked out of there with 4 new bibles, another book and a new neckless with a cross and a note:-P
I got the Amplified bible which was one of my goals to find while i am here, The Message, NIV(New International Version)and NKJV(New King James Version. The other book is called "Hope and Healing for kids who cut". I have some friends who have done those things once, and i really want to read some theory about since i got it all very practical:-P
Here are my new books:
Besides that I found myself a new cross! - It says it all about my faith! - It is a cross combined with a note. My fath in Jesus Christ have evolved mainly through music, and music and my faith is combined very closely, so this was so perfect:-)
I tried to take a picture but it didnt turn out that great, but it gives and idea of how it looks:
It is so cool that you can go into almost any store here in the states and then find christian musicand books in a very different way than back home!
Well when we came home we were a bit in a hurry. It is Halloween today and we had to go downtown all dressed up. So we had to find something quick. Our teachers had made sure we had lot of weird clothes:-P I ended up in a black "dress" that was made out af black fabric, with a blonde wick that was VERY long, and black make-up.
Then we had to go to Stubbs which is a restaurant in town. It was okay. Stubbs has a small concert area where we were and heard some concerts. Very special music, and kind of cool, but i came to miss a metal concert:-P But i will soon be going to a festival in Norway again:-)
When we did not want to hear anymore music, we went down to 6th street, which is were all their livemusic is, that they city of Austin is very known for. Everybody was dressed up on 6th street, but also at the concert. Very cool and fun to see how much the americans loves this tradition. On 6th street there were A LOT of people who took pictures of each others costumes and so on. There were not much for ud to do since we are all under 21. We walked up the street to watch the many cool costumes and then decided to get some cabs and go home.
