lecture' s activities we visited the Local Library of Tomelloso and introduced
some nationals authors. Also we went to visit some important places is Spain
and its culture.
On Sunday, 21 we were very nervous because the students
arrived to Spain, and we decided to went with our teacher Ana Maria to picked
up them in the Adolfo Suarez's airport. In the airport we had to went to three
different terminals, because each country arrived in one different terminal.
When we picked up all the students, we returned to Tomelloso. And then we came
to our houses. In my house, Vincenca and me unpacked her suitcase and then we had pizza.
On Monday, 22, We went to the school at 8:30 and in
there, we did a presentation activity in which the students of each country
presented his school and a little part of his town. Then we went to the Town
Hall and the mayor of Tomelloso welcome the students. After that we went to
visited " La posada de los portales" because it's the oldest monument
in Tomelloso. Then we lunch with my family a typical food of Spain

introduced two national authors, a classic author and a contemporary author,
with his respective book. We lunch in my house, and then, at 17:00 we went with
the other students to visited a famous museum in Tomelloso (El museo deal

Toledo, and when we finished visit the Library we went to saw the mosque of

then we went to had lunch. We returned to Tomelloso soon, and I helped Vincenca
to pack her suitcase, then we went to dinner to Burger King. After that we
stayed in Alicia's house a few time, and the we came to my house.
On Saturday, 27, we were very sad because all the
students came back to their countries. We picked them up to the main square and the
bus got them to the airport. Then we had only one goodbye more : Italy . They were the last ones leaving .. It was very sad morning because everyone had left for their countries and we became very friendly.
Now, we chat with them every day, and in summer some of our friends are going to
come to Spain to visit us.
