Aventuras en abril

The month started off with the Matt and Kim concert, which feels like decades ago by now. Then, after a week of tests and projects, we had an AFS orientation with those staying here as exchange students in the Basque Country as well as those from the Basque country going abroad this summer and next school year. Then, the Monday after, my grade and I went on the viaje de fin de curso (end of course trip) from Monday to Friday. We went to Jaca, a town next to the Pyrenees, to do rafting, paintball and other sports of the sort. We spent two days there and then went to Barcelona to spend the day there Wednesday. We spent most of the day in the bus, and when we went through Barcelona we had a guide come on the bus and talk to us as we drove through the city. We got off for about 45 minutes to see the park of Gaudi and about 5 minutes to take pictures of the Sagrada Familia, but we really didnt get to get a good look of all tourist attractions except for a glance from the bus windows. Then, we went to Calafell, a town in Catalunya, because the hotel was there. Thursday, we went to Port Aventura, an amusement park in another city in Catalunya, and spent the day there. In the hotels at night we all gathered in eachothers rooms, whcih was probably my favorite part. Later i'll tell the rest of the story.
