4th Day - Thursday 10th September by Nuria Guell

Today we got up at 6 AM because we had to take the bus very early. So we had a shower, cleaned our teeth, finished packing our luggage and went downstairs to the hall of the hotel. At 7 o'clock all of us were ready, so we left the hotel and went to pick the underground or subway as it is said here, to go to the bus station for the transfer to Washington DC. When we were there, we bought something to eat while our friends overlooked the luggage. It wasn't very comfortable because the weather was a bit cold and it was raining. At 8:30 a.m. we were inside the bus and going to Washington DC. It was a long trip... we didn't arrive until 1 p.m.! But the time seemed to ran so fast because we could sleep a lot (we didn't sleep too much that last night in NY) and we could talk to our families in Catalonia as there was free Wi-fi in the bus! When we arrived at Washington DC we waited for about 15 minutes and then a Flint Hill School teacher arrived with a school bus to take us there. So at 1:30 p.m. approximately we were at Flint Hill School. All of us were very nervous and excited to meet our partners and we couldn't wait longer. The teacher showed us the High School and at 2:30 p.m. when the classes finished, we finally met our partners! After a few minutes in the High School talking with everyone, we went home, we unpacked the luggage, we met our partner's family, they showed us the house and early we had dinner - I think it wasn't 8 p.m. yet and we had already eaten! After having dinner we had a shower, cleaned our teeth and at almost 9 p.m. we went to sleep, because we were really tired after that exciting day.

We were going into the school bus.

We were meeting our new friends.
