Texas Day 8 & Trip Back to Spain

Texas Day 8

We went to WLA, in our only "regular" school day. In the morning we had time to prepare some presentations on our local area (social life, TV, food, Bilbao, and the ASB). We did these in Spanish, so that, at the same time, the American students could practice their spanish. Meanwhile, the WLA students were presenting their personal projects, which they choose and work on in their free time, and we got a glimpse of them once we were done with our work. We then presented our stuff, and got time to work on our blogs. After this we had lunch and a break.


The WLA students then had their English class, to which we were invited. We watched "Death of a Salesman".

Our host parents picked us up and took us to Anisha's house, where we had a good-bye party. The house was an impressive mansion, with two stairways leading up from the front door, a game room with a pool table, a pinball table, an arcade machine, and a fooseball table. They also had a sports gym, with many exercise machines. We had plenty of food and drinks, and we all had much fun just hanging around talking, or playing in the games room.


In the end, we had to say good bye, and go back home, to prepare our luggage for the trip back. I had a picture taken with my host family in front of their house.


Next morning we had to wake up at 3:30 am to be at the airport by 5:00. In total we spent 23 hours between planes and airports, and got back home exhausted.
