FAREWELL

Well, the last moments of our adventure have been really emotional and unforgettable. Yesterday evening we had a farewell dinner at the GC dining hall: the families came to say goodbye and, later, they took us to the airport.

Baltimore & Halloween

After the event of the hurricane, today started normally. We woke up at 6:30 AM, had our breakfast, and then drove to school. School didn’t start until 9 AM so we had a little bit of time to Skype with our class and give cupcakes that we made yesterday to our mates. We also received some candy from Anna and Vanessa. At 9 AM we took the bus to the famous Baltimore Aquarium. We saw lots of sharks, weird fishes, an octopus, the dolphin show and also a 4D movie! We enjoyed it so much and we took so many pictures!
After the aquarium, we had lunch at Chipotle, a very famous Mexican restaurant in here. We ate for free! Yei! Then we came back to the bus where we were talking about how badly we wanted to stay here, and then, we arrived at school. We met our mates and went home. There, we could start packing and get ready to cry tomorrow!

We've arrived at 2.45h pm to the school and then they gave us a Good Counsel t-shirt! Later we went to our host family home. In my case I went with Julia, Nuria and Lluis to Julia's house, because Vanessa had rehersal. At home we watched TV and we wore our Halloween costumes!
Lluis was a nerd, Nuria was a Charleston woman, Julia was a nurse and I was a fame dancer. Later we went to the Justin's party and we have had trick or treat! Trick or treat consists in going to houses and say: 'Trick or Treat', and people give you candy! It was so funny, now we have a lot of candy! After that we have stayed at Justin's house and it has been really funny because we have showed to people Spanish music and we have danced! And now I'm so sad because it is the last night and I don't want to go! This has been a magic experience and now I have a friend, and I hope that our friendship doesn't break.

After Sandy


It was Tuesday, the morning after the big storm of Sandy, we woke up at the basement because we were safer there. We didn't have school, so we were playing wii and I did my homework from school. We ate lunch and after Sandy calmed, we were able to go outside, and we went to Columbia's mall. I did my last shopping and I ate a chocolate cupcake  for 18 cents, because the cash of the store was broke. I was so excited when I knew that the next day we would go to the aquarium in Baltimore to see the dolphins, sharks and all kinds of fishes , frogs and crocodiles. At night we picked up the pumpkins and I picked up a pumpkin of a witch, it was so amazing and funny! We were prepared for the next day, HALLOWEEN!
