We could not enter the class because children from another country were still giving presentations. We just wanted to go to class until we were told we could come to town hall. We walked from school to the town hall. We took a picture there with the mayor of Alpedrete and we got button there. We then went to the cultural centre of Alpedrete where they had a library, ballet hall and music room. They showed us other special thing about Alpedrete like the monument for the special stones and the statue of Paco Rabal, a famous actor who is originally from Alpedrete. We took a look there. We walked back to school, we had a warm lunch there and they eat hot in Spain in the afternoon and in the Netherlands we eat a sandwich. We also take lunch from home to school and in Spain we had lunch at school.. We went to play outside for 1 hour and then to the home of the host family. We were at the host family’s house and we played a game. In the evening we went to the bowling alley and we also bowled there with the other host families and children from other countries. We also had dinner there. It was late in the evening so when we got there we went to sleep. The children go to bed later then we do in Holland.

Friday March 6. We woke up and had to pack our suitcases and we drove to school with the suitcases. We said goodbye to the 2nd host family. We could store our suitcases in a room at school. We did our last presentations for the small children. And we could sit with the teachers and masters of our school. Then we really had to say goodbye to the school and the host families. We walked back to the hotel. In the evening we had dinner at the mcdonalds. We liked this very much. We also went to have a look at some shops. We played some games in the hotel and then we went to sleep. This was the last night in Spain. What we enjoyed it was a really fun adventure!
Saturday:
Saturday March 7 we went back home today which we were really sorry because we were having a good time. We first started exercising in the gym in the morning and then showered and breakfast and when the taxi van was there we went to the airport and we bought some things there and bought some more souvenirs for the teachers and then after a long wait we took the plane and we were delayed and quite long so that was really annoying but it didn’t really matter. When we arrived at the airport we were glad to see our family again.
It was a very cool adventure! We laughed a lot. We will never forget this adventure.
