Last Words, by Mrs. Virginia Lima

Try to imagine 700 teenagers traveling back and forth over the Atlantic Ocean to open their eyes to another world. For 28 years Scituate and Getxo have enjoyed a cultural exchange unlike any other. Our two high schools have transformed the lives of countless people as we have shared our homes for four amazing weeks. All of our lessons, excursions, meals and adventures have created a memorable experience to be cherished.
All of us from Getxo and Scituate are similar in many ways. Our connection to the sea and our unique historical place make us all feel proud. We are happy to call Bilbao and Boston "home" as well. Our distinct cultural curiosities enliven our fascination with each other and the world beyond. Any differences we notice only make our friendships stronger. Now we are left with everlasting memories and real possibilities to see each other again!
