Texas Day 2

I woke up at 6:00 and had breakfast at 6:30, the typical times for my family. Breakfast consisted of bacon and scrambled eggs, which could be rolled in corn "tortitas" to make "Texan Burritos". Tim's mom drove us to the school, where we got by around 7:45. The students got together outside and pledged their allegiance to the flag of the USA and of Texas. We then had a couple of cultural activities to get to know each other better, like a competition in which each one was asked questions about someone else in their group. The Westlake students prepared a skit to show us about American culture and we told them more about what they'd be seeing or should see when they come to Spain.

We had some pizza at WLA at 11:30, and then where taken to the Texas Rangers Ballpark in Arlington to watch their baseball game against the LA Angels. The Rangers started winning in the first round, and scored 1-2-1 in the first 3 innings vs 0-0-0, but the Angels recovered in the second round, so both teams were scoring 4-4. The Angels then scored 3 home runs in the last round, and the Rangers couldn't avoid losing 7-4. There were a couple of good plays by both teams, like the Angels catching many balls in the air, a Ranger catching a ball just near a wall, banging into it, and a very good series of passes by the Rangers, eliminating 3 Angels straight.

After this, Tom took me home, but we first passed by a supermarket. We had a typical American dinner, with beef, cramberry sauce, corn, salad, honeybutter, etc.

I then had to do some homework (for the blog), and a comparison between American and Spanish cultures.
