Shopping (Monday 19th)

Today was a different day. Four of us weren't here because they were doing different things with their host families.
We didn't do class at all. We did a scavenger hunt in the college and then we finished our powerpoints about Spain.
For some of us, today was a very important day because we were going to know if we were accepted at the university in Spain.
After having lunch, we went to Orlando to go shopping. It was very hot, I think we reached 100 degrees Farenheit, so it was very hard to walk without air conditioning but after all it was a great day.

Beach's day (Sunday 18th)

On Sunday, we were in the Polk State College's parking at 8 am. We went to Daytona Beach and we spent the time the morning swimming and playing with the water.
About 12:30 pm, we went to eat lunch to "Wendy's" (is very similar to Mc Donald's, but is better than this one). After lunch, we went a Carnival and Manu went on the "Sling shot attraction".
Finally, we spent three more hours in the beach and we ate dinner in Pizza's Hut.
 
It was a perfect day!!!

Universal Studios (Friday 16th)

On Friday 16th of July, the students of USA went to a theme park called Universal Studios. The day was hot and there wasn't clouds in the sky when the group got in the park. At the beginning, they saw a high ramp of a roller coaster called "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit", but the ride wasn't ready yet so they went to a Jimmy Neutron's simulator. When the atraction was over, the group went to another simulator about Shrek, that one was better than the first one.
In all the rides, the queve time was being from 20 to 35 minutes.
Later, they went to twister, a simulator about tornados based on the movie with the same name. After that, they rode in the "Mummy's ride", and finally, they could ride the big roller coaster.
In the afternoon, they spent the time in "Terminator 2" in 3D and they rode in "Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit" again before they left the park.
 
It was a great day!!!
