Today, Emily Abbott our Rotary Youth Exchange 2009-2010 who went to Norway for the year shared her experiences and pictures with us. While abroad, Emily visited a number of countries including Germany, Sweden, Austria, Italy, France, Finland and England to name a few! While away, she learned to speak Norwegian, hike and cross country ski. She is glad to be back in Texas where people hug, look you in the eye and speak when they pass you on the street and all those other warm qualities Texans have! She saw the Northern Lights and knows that when someone says "Oh just wait" that things will get colder. She lived with several families while away and enjoyed her time with other youth in the Exchange program. Glad to have you back in the good ole USA!
