OUR SECOND SUNDAY IN LEAMINGTON

My second Sunday in Leamington was quite different. On Saturday evening, when we arrived from Alton Towers, my family didn't pick me up because they were at a wedding. Owing to this fact, I went to Father Jesus' host family and I slept there. On Sunday morning, I went to mass with Father Jesus and his host family. When the mass finished, we went back home and after having lunch, we played board games. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, my host family pick me up and I went to my English home. We had dinner and we watched a film called "Cool running". So, as you can see, Sundays are the best days to be spent with our families. It is a chance to develop our English skills during all the day, which, needless to say, is quite hard!

ALTON TOWERS!!!


On the 18th of July, we met at 8 o'clock in the morning at Newbold Terrace. A coach was waiting for us there. We first stopped in Birmingham because the students who are in Aston had to use the same coach. Once in Alton Towers, the leaders took us an initial photograph and then, we separated ourselves in different groups and we had free time! We rode all the attractions we could: Air, Nemesis...As this theme park has got big parks, we could have lunch on the grass and relax for a while. At five, we came back to the coach and after two hours, more or less, we arrived in Leamington. Our families were waiting for us in our meeting point. However, before going home, Eduardo's host father took us a photo, which is going to be a present for Leamington's Mayor. We are going to visit him next Tuesday! It was a really wonderful day!
