Pool's Party (Saturday 24th)

In our last weekend, the students of USA went to Alex's host family house for being all together and having a great time. We did lots of activities, like: swimming, play freesbie, fly in a plane...

At lunch, we ate american food and spanish food. The host families did american food (meat balls, cookies, brownies, spaguettis...) and Manu cooked Paella for everybody.

I was so excited because when I went to the plane, I rode about few minutes. Finally, we spent the time in the swimming pool because it was a very hot day.

Island of adventures (Friday 23th)

Today was a great day!!!!

 

We went to Universal Studios (Island of adventures), we enjoyed a lot because we rode in different rides, roller coasters and more things.

Firstly, we went to fall ride (it was very funny), but I prefer saying the water falls, that was awesome!!!

Secondly, we went to Jurassic Park and we saw dinosaurs and the jungle.

Later, we went to Harry Potter's World, it's amazing. You are in the movie, it's great. There are two rides very well done and funny. We repeated every times.

In the afternoon we were very tired but we enjoyed a lot.

 

It was one of the best days!!!!

Today, today...

Today wasn't a amazing day...

I got up, went to school, you know all that everyday.

But... WAIT!!! We went to a restaurant (Applebee's) for having lunch. Yes, it was good!!! Everybody enjoyed their food.

Later, we went to swimming pool and were there about 3 hours. It was the best thing of the day (in my opinion) We met two boys (12 years old) and they explained us some good things about their live. It was funny!!! We enjoyed it.

 

Start the time over for going back home.

At the start of our day, we went to class in Polk State College. There, we did grammar and played a game called "Quiz". After that, we went to student's center for eating lunch.

In the afternoon, we did our rutine activity (swimming pool) There we had a lot of fun playing a volleyball match (my team won!!!)

We finished returning to their respectives families. I went with Manuel at my house for swimming in my pool. Later, we went to play bowling with Rocio's family. It was very fun!!!!

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!!!

Enrique's memories

We've been here for ten days and I can't believe that we've only two weeks left. It must be said that classes are... well, that's it, classes; but every afternoon we do some activity. Some of them are more entertaining than others, but nobody can say that he/ she is not enjoying it (swimming, cinema, theme parks... are some of the places we go to)

 

Among the families, we found all the variety that could be expected, and we all feel comfortable with life at home. Of course, there are luckiers one, who spend days of class going to the beach or to theme parks.

 

All the spanish mates are knowing each others and we get on very well.

Queridas familias y amigos:

 

Somos Padre Nicolas y Manuel (los coordinadores de Florida) os escribimos para comunicaros que estamos todos muy bien y deciros que la primera semana ha sido genial y de adaptacion.

Los chicos y chicas nos han comentado que estan muy bien con sus familias americanas y todos estan asisitiendo a las clases en Polk State College con interes.

 

Os comentamos tambien que hemos realiado diversas actividades (bolera, piscina, cine, arte, deporte) y sobre todo, hemos visitado uno de los parques de Disney (Epcot Center), un parque educativo sobre la historia del mundo y de los dinosaurios.

 

No puede faltar que destaquemos que hemos conseguido ver nuestra seleccion de futbol todos juntos, tanto la semifinal contra Alemania y, por supuesto, la final contra Holanda. Estuvimos todos contentos aunque sufrimos hasta el ultimo minuto. Para celebrarlo, algunos chicos fueron a patinar sobre hielo.

 

A continuacion, podeis ver algunas fotos de los primeros dias y en adelante los chicos y chicas os iran escribiendo sus impresiones y vivencias en el blog.

 

Sin nada mas que comentar, disfrutaremos del resto de nuestra estancia en Florida.

 

Un cordial saludo.

 

Los coordinadores (Padre Nicolas y Manuel)

 

 

Un cordial saludo desde Florida.

Hola, queremos compartir con vosotros apasionantes experiencias que estamos viviendo en los Estados Unidos.
