My last days....

Hi!!

The Tuesday I went to the school whit Kim and then we went bowling and we had a good time with our American hosts.Then, we played games in this site. Today, we were in the Outlet again. I stayed with Kim, Emilio and Virginia. I enjoyed a lot, because we were laughing all the time. I bought a pajama, converse, and t-shirts...


After, in Kim's house, we played Sing Star and we ate "apple caramels". They are very tasty!!

This days in the school, the people wear different clothes everyday: sport clothes, old clothes, clothes with a lot of colors...
I am little sad because I don't want return and I hate have to say goodbye...



Tomorrow, we are gonna visit Boston again, our last time in Boston.

One kiss. Alicia.

NY(second part)

After the tour, we went to the hotel and we saw our rooms. Quick, we took a shower and we changed our clothes because we needed to go to "Time Square". We ate the dinner there and we saw a play: "Legally Blond". It was very funny and I am never going to forget it.



When we left the play, we saw Time Square in the night. It's very amazing, it was the best site that I saw in my life, really really amazing. A lot of colors. We visited Hard Rock Cafe, M&MS world, some shops and we learned that there are always things that can surprise you when you thought that nothing can.


Then, we slept in the hotel and the second day, we went to "Statue of Liberty", I like it too, it's like in the films.


And we went to MOMA too. It is a very famous museum.

One kiss. Alicia*

NY(first part)

Hi!!

This is other trip, other dream that we have lived here.

When we went to New York, we were buying in the fifth avenue and I ate a Hot Dog like in the films.


Then, we visited the "Chinese Neighborhood". I didn't like it, because they tried to steal from us all the time. But we bought things really cheap.

We did a tour of New york and we saw the John Lennon's monument: "Imagine". We saw the "Zero Zone", the famous Empire State, other sky buildings,etc.

Halloween(history and party)

Hi people!!
I am going to talk you about the Halloween history and then, about our party.

History

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.

Halloween is celebrated in severals countries, but in U.S.A is the most important site of this celebration.

The commercialization of Halloween in the United States did not start until the 20th century, beginning perhaps with Halloween postcards (featuring hundreds of designs) which were most popular between 1905 and 1915. Dennison Manufacturing Company, which published its first Hallowe'en catalog in 1909, and the Beistle Company were pioneers in commercially made Halloween decorations, particularly die-cut paper items.German manufacturers specialised in Halloween figurines that were exported to the United States in the period between the two world wars.

The party.

This is the first year that we have a Halloween party. We bought our costumes here. I wore a devil costume and Virginia wore an angel costume. The party was very funny because it had a lot of foods and games. Here, I put a photo:

Boston Celtics

The other day, we went to the Red Sox field, and to watch a NBA match.

We did a tour in the Red Sox field, because Mrs. Olano's son works there.I liked it, because here, I saw matches of this team and I have a T-shirt of them.

Then, we were going to watch the match: Boston Celtics versus New York Nicks. I was very excited because I like Basket, I had played 5 years. The Celtics lost and we aren't seen at big screen, but I am glad because it is a new experience and I was funny.

Today: Shopping

Hi people!!

Today I went with Virginia and Kim to the "Outlet". In the "Outlet" there are some shops in houses, and it's wicked cheap.

I bought a lot of things, I returned to my house with 8 bags. But, only 3 for me, because I bought for my friends and my family too.

Here, the clothes and technology is cheaper than Spain, so we like shopping.

Shops like Quicksilver, Tommy Hilfiger, GAP, Adidas, Nike have really good prizes. And here, there are other shops like Aero, that I think has beautiful things.

Now, I am a little tired, and I need sleep because tomorrow, after school we are going to visit Boston and see Red Sox' stadium and we are going to live Boston Celtics' match.

Here, I put photos, after the shopping and before the shopping:

One kiss. Thanks for the trip!! I am enjoying all the time.

TV in USA

Hi people!!

TV in the United States is a little different, because here, there are a lot of channels and in Spain we only have six public channels.

There are the same series such as CSI, House, Grey's anatomy...

Here,you can stop the image and then you can turn it on again. It's good because if you need to go to the bath you can and you don't miss anything.

Another thing in common is that the family watches TV together.

Other day... =)

Hi people!!

Today, we went to another school. In this school there are younger kids. We danced the "Macarena", we sang a spanish song("Buenas noches") and we answered a lot of questions.

Then, I went to the mall, and I bought a lot of things: pumas, t-shirts...

Finally, I saw an American football match, and I think, it's a little boring.


One kiss. Alicia.

Boston trip

Hi people!!

Today, we went to Boston in a school bus. The bus isn't comfortable.

First we went in Duck bus and I did a tour of Boston and we saw its buildings,shops and parks, then the bus went into the river and we saw the other face of Boston. I like Boston because it's more different that Valladolid.

Second, we went to Science Museum, it's fantastic,they have interesting things and experiments..!!

Third, we saw a film, but it was a little borring and I was dizzy when I saw the screen. I had a wicked good day and I enjoyed all the time.
Now, I am a little tired and I am speaking whit my mum, I am excited, because I didn't speak with my mum other days.

Thanks for the trip!! Kisses.

my first words

Hi people!!

I am wicked excited for the trip!!I want to live here, everything is perfect!! The first day I was lost but now I understand better than before.
We are making jokes all the time, here. I love the Americans' life. They live in big houses and they have beutiful cars. Everything is green, there is a lot of grass. My family here is very kind with me.

Today I went to high school, it is very big and a lot different than Spain. First we had a tour of the school, and then I went to Kim's classes: spanish, sports, goverment and a meeting.

Now I am with Virginia, Kim and Jenna in Jenna's house. I am very happy.

Kisses.
