Thursday 21st

Today at school we saw a really funny movie but we didn't go to the computer's room. Then, we had some lunch at the College and waited in the games room to go to the pool because it was very sunny and the last day that we went, a lot of people were burned. So when we arrived to the Winter Haven's pool we put some suncream and we went quickly to diving off the trampoline, after that, we went to play some volleyball too.
So it was a great day.

Sun'n Fun Museum

Yesterday, we continue with the classes in the morning. Then we went to eat to Golden Corral in Lakeland. In the afternoon we went to the airplanes museum Sun’n Fun. There were very funny airplanes and it was a good visit.

The museum had racing planes, aircraft, engines, fighter jets and more. We also saw the wing structure of a plane and some wooden models. Our guide, Joyce, told us many stories and showed us a map given to Howard Hughes (The Aviator) by Katherine Hepburn for his accomplishment of his around the world flight. ThThen we leave the building to head to another where there was some warplanes struck us. The best airplanes for me were these airplanes.

Skating

Today, 13th we've had class, like every day and after them we went ice-skating to Lakeland Center , wich was great! I've had lots of fun because, at first Iwas almost falling down but I haven't, also, about 15 minutes after I saw Miquel with some problems for skating, so I decided to help him and it was really funny! He was really scared at first, but some minutes later he started to get more self-confident so finally he skated alone and finally we had a lot of fun, so it was great. I loved this day.
