Inesfraile’s American Weblog

In conclusion, our trip to America has been amazing. We have met a lot of new people and  learnt living with another family.

Our visits to NYC, Boston and Newport have been really good. We have seen a lot of monuments and learnt a lot of American culture.

I think that this trip has been a great experience for us, in which we have learnt a lot about ourseleves and the other people.

I want to give thanks to all High School teachers (above all to Olano) and Montse and Jorge because they have helpt us when we needed something.

Thank you to our families too, and High School students because they have taken in us.

The trip was shorter that our trip to America. Fatima and I were sitting next to Jorge and Montse. 

During our trip we saw two movies. I only saw a little, because I was slept.

At 8.30 AM more or less we arrived in Madrid. There we caught our luggage and went to catch the bus, that took us from the airport to Valladolid.

When we arrived at school, our parents were there. I was so happy!!!

I ate culin stew and not hamburgers or hot dogs!!!!

Today we have been in Boston again. The weather wasn’t very good, it was cloudy.

We have visited the and more monuments.

After that, we have eaten and bougth lots of things.

Today, we’ve been in a different school. It’s not a High School, but a Middle School, so students are younger. It has been really fun. We have talked a lot with the students, and Javi has done BreakDance. Students were very surprised.

We have eaten pizza with salat and a cookie.

After that we have been with the computers.

Yerterday we were in Newport. We caught the bus at 7.30. The trip was a bit long, but finally we arrived there. The first mansion we visited was “The Breakers”. It was my favourite mansion. The guide explained us it in Spanish, so we understood everything. There were a lot of huge rooms with a lot of forniture.

The second mansion was “Roseclif”. It was near the sea. The guide only spoke Spanish, so we didn’t understand a lot. The explication was short and then we could go to the garden near it and see the sea. We did a lot of photos and had a good time.

After that, we went to eat. Fatima and I were in Yankee Candle. We bougth several candles with good smells. At 3 we returned to the bus. There was a problem with it and we almost had to call another bus to return Milford.

On  October the seventh, we were in Boston. We travelled there by bus, early in the morning.

First, we done a trip with a bus-boat. First we went on the road, and then, the same vehicle went into the water. It was fun. The driver was a bit weird. He had a very long braid and a gold earring on his left ear.

After that, we went to Science Museum. It was really good. We had lunch there too.

Yesterday night we went to a very special party at Milford High School. It was for boys and girls with Down’s Syndrome. It was really great. We could eat, drink and dance.

It was amazing watching how those boys and girls enjoyed the party. They were al dancing and laughing.

We returned home at about 10 o’clock. I was absolutely exhausted, so I went to bed.

From 7.00 to 11.30. It was simply amazing. There were about one hundred people, all eating and dancing. All dressed in black and white clothes. It was like in the films.

At the end, most of the people took their shoes off and danced barefoot. It was more confortable!!!

The trip was a bit long. So many hours at the plane… But finally, we arrived at Boston. The security measures were very strict. In fact, Montse take Fatima and me a picture in the airport and a security guy told her to show him all the photos of her camera. She was a bit afraid. When we were in the bus along Milford, Jorge told us that our American ‘brothers’ and ’sisters’ thought that we will arrive on  Saturday, instead of on Friday, so we have to go to a hotel and sleep there. We had dinner in Burger King and went early to bed, because we were completely tired.
