Conclusion

inesfrailegamarra — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:17:03 +0000

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.

Return trip

inesfrailegamarra — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 16:02:38 +0000

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!!!!

Our last day at school was a little boring. We were in the library, in Science (watching a film)… We had lunch in the first lunch and after that, we bought T-shirts at the high school store.

Later we went to the gym to see something. It was like a party. The cheerleaders did a dance, and teachers and pupils played some games.

At two more or less, we went to catch the luggage. We had to say goodbye each other. It was the worst part. Almost everybody was crying. It was hard to say goodbye to our families and friends.

Halloween Party

inesfrailegamarra — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 16:02:31 +0000

It was on Saturday at the Portuguese club. Emily, some of her friends and I wore very funny costumes. We were teddies of different colors. I was the love-a-lot teddy.

We were dancing and eating, and after that, we began to decorate the pumpkins. We cut the eyes and the mouth, and then we put a candle in them. When we switched off the light, all the punpkins were shinning.

Finaly, we had to choose the one we liked best.

23 – 10 – 07

We have gone to school by car. I was completly sleepy. In English, we have watched a film. I haven’t understood a lot.

Then, we have gone to Science’s class. It hasn’t been funny. We have dissected four cats, to see their organs.

After that we have been writing our blogs. I had a lot to write.

The Statue of Liberty

inesfrailegamarra — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:46:37 +0000

On Sunday we went to see the most important monument (in my opinion) of New York. We had to take a boat, that carried us to the Statue. The weather was perfect: sunny and hot (not too much).

The statue was big, but I thought that it was bigger. We took a lot of pictures and bought things.

After that, we caught the boat again to return.

Mary Poppins Musical

inesfrailegamarra — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 15:32:08 +0000

On Sunday Night we went to a theatre to see Mary Poppins. It was wonderfull. The decoration was nice and the characters sang very well. We didn’t understand everything, but we liked it. The best part was when Mary flew above all.

After that, we could go shopping in the city until 11.30. We bought a lot of things!
