Best of Poland (our trip to the south - west of Poland)

Hello European friends,
We would like to drop some lines about our 3 days trip to one of the most beautiful part of our country called Kotlina Kłodzka, on the border with Czech Republic. We spent there 3 days, we stayed in an old hotel 2 nights. The sun were shining all 3 days. It was very hot. We were climbing to the top in the mountains, we were going down to the Golden mine in Złoty Stok (złoty means golden), we were drinking water on the oldest Polish spa. What is interesting Lower Silesia was part of Prussia, Austria and Czech Kingdom. We prayed in the  sanctuary Wambierzyce (ALbendorf). We didn't sleep a lot at night. It was exciting we had fun and enjoyed very much. Greeting from Poland

Sorry...my comments option doesn't work!

Happy Easter to you!
Also in Trieste we have similar traditions: we paint the eggs (not as beautiful as your, Marika!) and your Tsoureki is like our sweet leavened bread we call "Titola". It symbolizes the nail of the cross of Jesus. I suppose this similarities are due to the presence of a big Greek comunity in Trieste since 1700. But we have also the chocolate eggs!













And yes, we were in Munich (Germany) with 43 students of the third year of middle school. They are 14 and they study two foreign languages: english and german. And Germany is the nearest country for us! Other classes were in Graz and Wien (Austria) and in Nice and Principality of Monaco (France) because they study French as third language.

Hello to everybody!

Hello! Finally I'm at home again!
I've had a hard period at school. First of all I was in Munchen with my oldest students for a 5-days trip, and it was really tiring week. We are back home on Friday night and on Monday I left again for a 5-days trip in Torino and Aosta with the middle students. Now I have only two days at school before the Easter holidays but I'm really KO!
And in this period, from March to Easter, all students are involved in theate projects with rehearsal and construction of sets and I've to manage all their movements.
I hope that my students prepare a slide-show of their trips before Easter to share with European friends their findings and feelings.
Ciao
Luisa

School trip to Italy

School trip to Italy

An unforgettable experience

This last week was so incredible! We went to Italy with our classmates! It was a 4 days trip while we visited Pisa, Florence and Rome. It was such a funny trip that we won’t forget it!

In this trip we used almost all the transports that exist! First we trevelled from Girona to Pisa by plane. We saw the Pisa’s tower and we took some pictures of it. After a pair of hours there we took a bus and went to Florence, a really enjoyable city in the north of Italy. We stayed there for one night in a really good hotel. Although we didn’t sleep much this day we visited the David in the museum of Florence and some other monuments in the city.

In the afternoon we took a train that brought us to Rome, where we were going to spend a couple of days. Although the hotel wasn’t very good we spent a really good time there, but not much because we were all day walking in Rome. The first day we visited the Vatican City, the Fontana di Trevi and some other places that I don’t remember now. For me the most beatiful thing we visited was the Fontana di Trevi. The second day we visited the Spain’s Square, the Coliseum, the Foros and the Mouth of the Truth.

The food was really good in all the Italian cities we visited, but specially in Rome. Although the good quality of the food the price was in line with what we expected, only a bit more than the restaurants we frequent here in Vinaròs, Casa Pocho and these places, you know…

And to top the travel we returned to Spain with a ferry, we sailed from Civitavecchia to Barcelona in only 22 hours, so we hadn’t much time to do anything in the return trip.

In general we spent a really good time together among friends, like I said on the top, an unforgettable experience!
