Today we received our second parcel from our Cultural Exchange Group. This time we thank Erin Franey and her 10th Grade class from Perry Hall High school in Maryland, a state situated in the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. It borders Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware to its east.
This time our parcel contained a variety of items to teach us more about Maryland and it’s people.
- An American Flag ~ the flag represents the country and each of the 50 starts represent one it’s 50 states.
- A Pillow/Pet ~ this is a pillow & a pet that represents Maryland’s baseball team, the Orioles.
- Ravens Football Magnet ~ Ravens is the Maryland NFL team. Football is only played during the winter season & everyone gets excited. Maryland’s biggest rival is the Pittsburg steelers.
- Old Bay Spice ~ this is used mostly on Seafood. It is rather spicy but apparently very delicious. They commonly put it on Maryland Craps. Old Bay gives it a very spicy & salty flavour.
- Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes ~ this mixing powder for potatoes is very easy to make and very popular there.
- Frizbee ~ this is a fun family game for whole families to enjoy. Having a great time with family is really important in Virginia.
- The Old Line State Deck of Playing Cards
- Baseball ~ Baseball is America’s past time & all time highest paying sport.
- Lego Batman Comic ~ this is about Batman and Robin fighting crime & saving their city.
- Silly Bands ~ these rubber bands have shapes and can be worn as bracelets.
- Baltimore Keyring
We also sent off our parcels representing SA to Australia, Sweden, Florida, USA as well as Maryland, USA today.
