Thursday, Friday, Saturday so on..
But we are alive! And we are great!
A summary of our last week until today, Saturday..
One day we jumped into Marias car and went to Barbastro, a few hours away. There we were amazed by the olivetrees and vineyards! We visited a BIG vineyard, totally new and expensive, and got to see the whole concept and taste some vines. Haha, this is a funny trip! After that, and a big lunch in the town, we went to a small olivegarden. We also tasted oliveoil, which was a little different..
Another day we went to Llanos del Hospital, to go cross-country skeeing beside the mountains and have som after-ski in the spa :) Really nice! At the night we went out to a sweet Irish pub, Molly Malone.
On Monday the real thing started. The Practics! Emilie and Christel at the Grand Hotel, Peter and Mattias at Aneto, the new hotel, and Josefin in the reception at the same hotel:)
Everything started great except for that both Emilie and Christel were ill that morning, really ill. After a visit at the doctors, with a shot and some pills, we started practising on Wednesday. Now everything is fine:) Don`t worry, moms and dads!
In the kitchen everything is great, we are learning new things all the time, and everybody are nice!
Did we mention that the weather here is great? We have been sunbathing every siesta. 25 degrees is okay ;)
Hugs and kisses from us, again ^^
Wednesday 11/3
The ski-center has 65 or 70 different slopes and many lifts, and everything was soo great! The sun was shining and the view was wonderful.. Peter, who had never gone skeeing before in his life, attended to go down a black slope and make a 360 in a jump. He ALMOST made it all:) God job Peter! After the skeeing and lunchbox-meal, we went home at 4.30. We went to see our future apartment, where we will live during our practice.
For dinner we had Chicken and chips! Some different, but tasty:)
Now we are tired and are soon going to bed since the limit of staying up is at 23..
God night and keep in touch! Hasta la vista baby!
Over and out.
Tuesday 10/3
Lunch today was Gazpacho and Paella: Veery tasty!
Then we went to Anciles to a restaurante to taste some local wines, 2 white, 3 red, 1 rosé and 1 sweet wine:) We learned a lot and also got to get a view in the wineceller.. There we had another wine.. Hmm. Mattias liked it a lot:)
After that, the principal invited us to her home to eat Churros with hot chocolate.
We walked in town until the schoolbus came to pick us up. Then, at 8.45, we had the dinner. As a starter we had Andalusian Salad, and as main course a Merluzafish with greensauce..
The boys went out to play the guitar:)
Monday 9/3
Today we went to a sightseeing to Benasque to see our practice-places.. Two really nice hotels indeed! After that we returned to school to eat lunch and meet the other students.. W also make some chocolate-art! We made pralines in different shapes and coloures.. It wa great! We played some games with the spanish students, and then had dinner:) We like it a lot at here, and it's really some nice weather here! 15 degrees! And we thought it was winter.. :)
The beginning of our trip Skellefte-Stockholm-Barcelona-Benasque :)
Travelling to unknown destination...
Hello everybody! We are right now at place in SPAIN!!! We startet our journey at saturday evening, with the night-train to Stockholm. We had a sleep-cupé so we slept most of the time. Not. When we first arrived at the train, we went to the restaurant-cabin, where we spent some time together playing cards. Somehow someone, or Mattias, managed to turn of the lights in the whole train. It was creepy, but we survived to Stockholm. At 6.45 we went off the train, and had a big, great breakfast in a hotel. We liked it.
After a walk in town we decided to go to Arlanda with bus. We played cards and ate lunch there, before checking in. The waiting time was long, but it was ok, we didn´t suffer. The plane to Barcelona left at 3 pm. When we finally, after 3.5 hours arrived, we were excited! We took a minibus-cab to Benasque. The road was creepy, but some of us liked it a lot. It was small, dark and very curvey (?) with big mountains and height differences. Finally, though, after 3.5 hours in the cab, we arrived at the BEAUTIFUL school of Guayente:)
We had a great dinner which the first graders had made:) After that we got to see our rooms, and sit here:) Now we are reaally tired, so we really have to sleep. But first shower. After 28 hours of travelling we dont´t feel fresh..
The pictures are great, but will be available later.. Like a cliffhanger:)
So long! Hasta la vista!
Will be back....
