 Plymouth Plantation & Mayflower II

By Yurema Sanches & Mariel Zalbidea

Today, our classes started at 9:15, so we were invited to an internacional breakfast in the French classroom, we got Dunkin' Donuts, which were really good. 

After we finished the breakfast, we got on the bus, and Kevin, our bus driver, took us to Plymouth Plantation which is the place where the English arrived on board the Mayflower.

At 1:00 pm, we got back on the bus and ate lunch. Then we went to see the Mayflower ship from inside.

Ay about  2:00 pm, we all went back to our host families’ houses to rest for a bit and at 4:00 PM, we met up again to play pickleball in the gym of  the old high school.

For dinner they brought us pizza, and after that, everyone went back home to sleep and get ready for the next day.

September 9 - Tuesday

 Wrenthem Premium outlets

By Libe Alejo / Paule Zaldua

In the morning, everyone woke up and got ready in their own houses. After that, we went to Scituate High School, where we joined our first class of the exchange. In our case, we had Physics, which was different from what we usually have in Spain but also interesting and fun.

               

Around 9:30 we took the bus and went on a trip to a shopping mall called Wrentham Outlets. The mall was really big and there were many different stores with good prices. We walked around, visited several shops and some of us bought clothes or souvenirs to remember this experience. At lunchtime, each of us ate in different places inside the mall, so we didn’t eat all together but everyone enjoyed their lunch.

At 2 o’clock we met again to take the bus back to Scituate High School. When we arrived, our exchange partners were waiting for us. We talked a little with them and then each of us went home. In the afternoon, most of us spent time doing homework and relaxing after a long day. It was a very good experience and we enjoyed it a lot.

September, 8 - Monday

 BFA & Fenway Park

by Mateo Uria & Jon Urquiza

We woke up at 7:00 a.m., had breakfast, and were taken to school. After attending our first class,  a school bus took us to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, where we explored fascinating collections from ancient Egypt, Asia, Greece, and Rome. We also saw European art  by really talented and popular painters such as   Velazquez. 

      

Once the visit ended, we sat at the outdoor tables for lunch. While we were eating, some goose appeared asking for some food; we also saw a squirrel.

After all that mentioned before, we started walking until reaching Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. We visited the gif store and also enjoyed a guided tour of the stadium to learn about it’s history. We admired the famous Green Monster or as they call it “The Green Monstah” with the special and distinctive Boston accent. After a rather uncomfortable ride back, we arrived home, had dinner, and went to sleep.
