Welcome back!!!!
Today we’re very excited because we’re finally telling you
what we did during the whole week we stayed in France.
The first thing to say is where we went in France. Well, this
is quite difficult to explain although it seems estrange. All the French studied
in the same school, which was in a village called “La Boisse”. It was in the South-East
of France, near Lyon and also near the Alps. But we didn’t stay in that
village.
For a week, we lived with two different families, half a
week with one family and the other half with the other family. This was because
there were more French that Spanish, so they kind of “shared” us. For both of
us, our families lived in the same village, but for other Spanish, their two French
lived far from each other.
So, all the Spanish were with two French teenagers. The organisation
for the week was the following: Monday to Friday morning we did some activities
in their school, had some classes with them and made some visits. The weekend
was spent in family, and each one went to visit different places. the following
Monday morning and evening we did some activities and had some classes as well because
it was our last day, and Tuesday we left in the early morning.
Both of us were very pleased with the treatment the family
and the teenagers gave us. They were all really nice and made us feel like at home.
With the French, we went to the Alps and we played volleyball, and although we weren’t
good at all and we lost, we felt like we had won. Also, the Spanish got on
really well, especially during our visits to two museums, the “Musée des
Confluences” and the “Gallo-Romain Museum” where we learnt a lot about romans
and history in French!!! We were quite worried of not understanding what the
guide was telling, but surprisingly we understood almost everything!!!
Other visits we made together were the medieval city of “PerougeS”
where we learnt about the history of its doors which don’t exist, and its
walls. There was a beautiful church as well. The last thing we visited was an eco-farm
where we were explained how they look after the stock and we saw how they
milked the cows.
Well, to sup up, we want to say this was one of the best
experiences of our lives and we would definitely repeat it as many times as we
can. We learnt how to live together with foreign people, but also with each
other and people we already know. We finally got very close and made great friendships
we won’t forget.
The best part is that they’re coming in March so we’ll show
them how we live here, which is completely different, and our intention is to
take the French out to dinner to typical places from our region.
We hope you liked it and that we have encouraged you to go
on with this thrilling adventure.
Hugs!!
