On Satuday morning I woke up at 9 am and Ananya's mum, brother and me went to Whole Foods to have breakfast and do some shopping. Then, we went home and while Ananya was doing her class I was packing my luggage. After, I said goodbye to Navreet and Rohan ( it was not easy) and Ananya  and her dad took me to Chipotle Mexacan Grill to have lunch. The food was so good and it was not spicy! Then we went to the airport and I said goodbye to Ananya's father. Ananya accompained with my friends and my teachers and I said goodybe to all of our exchange friends. I know that I will miss them a lot!
After all, we took a train that took us to the terminal that we had to catch the plane. There, in the DutyFree, we did some shopping, and then we took the plane. The flight lasted about seven hours until arriving in Frankfurt, where we took another plane at 9:15 (Germany's hour) to arrive in Barcelona. The trip lasted about two hours. When we arrived in Barcelona we had to get our luggage and we took the bus to arrive in les Borges. The trip lasted two more hours, and we arrived at 3pm. All of us were so tired as we haven't slept for many hours but this experience was unique and unforgettable!

15th Day Friday 7th April - Washington D.C. by Alena Arbós

We woke up way early than the other days due to a breakfast that Flint Hill School had prepared to all of us. We had to be at school around 7:40 am. Once we ate it, we left the school to go to Washington DC again where we were supposed to visit all the memorials that we couldn't see the other days in the city. In the morning we went to see the Holocaust Memorial museum which is based on Nazi and Jewish's history, especially on the treat that Jewish people received. After eating our lunch, we saw presidents' memorials besides other memorials dedicated to wars such as the Vietnam one, which is based on a high and wide wall with all the names of people who died in that fight written on it, I think that was the most impressive fact of the whole day. By the way, it was all so enjoyable despite the weather which was so windy and cold. Flint Hill School gave us T-shirts when we came back and we are all so thankful for that. In the afternoon we all met at the bowling where we played and had fun.

14th Day Thursday 6th April - Washington D.C - By Núria Martínez

Today Jacob's mother has led to high school by car, we usually go to high school by bus. Our first class was Spanish with Mr. Fernando, a few days ago he told us that since child he speaks Spanish because he is from Puerto Rico, in the class Andrea, Adam and I have talked with two girls who were about 16 years old. The truth is that they speak Spanish very well. After that some Spanish students we have met and we have been resting for a while or playing cards with American fellows. At 11:30 AM we went to have lunch, the menu of the day was Hot Dogs, chicken, vegetarian hamburgers and all the days there are different kinds of salads. Afterwards we went to another Spanish class, at the beginning of the class we have been warned that a tornado was approaching to DC and all the students went to the basement, as it was a drill, a quarter later we were in class. We have never met in a similar situation, it has been a new experience. At 14:30 Jacob's mother picked up Andrea, Aran and I to go to the mall.
