Monday at Washington State Zoo and Farewell

Today we took a trip to the National Zoo of Washington D.C.. This zoo was huge and we could enjoy seeing animals such as otters, elephants, pandas, turtles, crocodiles and lots more. 

After that we came back to school by bus and stayed there till we had farewell dinner at Jasmine’s house. The food was incredible, from Mamma Lucia's restaurant, and we played different types of games such as card games. It was a very good last day and we had lots of fun... People are so kind!! 

We are sad because we are leaving, but we are taking this unforgettable experience with us and waiting for our friends to some to Barcelona soon....
