WHAT A DAY



I'm sure you know who I am. Yes it's me. The one who sneaks in and out of the computer room when I think there's nobody around. Yesterday I got caught leaving. So I've come even earlier today.

Just to let you know about the truly great experiences we had yesterday. The coordinator had a surprise lined up for us. It must have been because we've been on our best behaviour! An outing to the pool! So after assembly we all rushed back to our rooms to grab our swim suits and towels. We don't often get to the swimming pool, so I can tell you it was a real treat! But it just wasn't any swimming pool. It was a huge place in Caceres.




We had our first public bus ride and went into the centre of the city. What a pretty place. The square is really lively with its bars and restaurants. We did some walking around the historic centre before dashing off to do some shopping. Hey, isn't my English really improving! I learnt that expression yesterday - dashing off- I like it.

After we did our shopping we all met up in the square again and had lunch, took photos and then headed off to the other camp, Muñoz Torero. There all the teachers and monitors were very kind to us. They accompanied us to the pool where we stayed for a couple of hours before returning to the other camp. And can you guess what happened there? Well if you read my post from yesterday you probably do. The TV cameras were there and some of us began to sing for them. I loved it.

Then we had a football tournament against Ross de Luna. We played really well but lost only by two goals. Their players were much older than us and what's more there were more of them. So we did fantastic in my opinion.

Later in the evening we watched a theatre show. I laughed alot, and so did everybody else. Then it was dinner time and back to our camp.

On the way back we had even more fun, because the bus didn't come. I walked back with a teacher and our coordinator and some other kids, and can you believe it we got there before some of them who went by car. A very nice teacher, Reyes, from Muñoz Torres and Miriam who is the coordinator of all the camps were very kind and drove the ones who didn't walk back. I loved walking through Caceres in the dark with the full moon guiding us.

I think everyone is a bit tired this morning because I can't hear the usual sound of chat. I'm going to "dash off" and have breakfast.
