Sunday was my first day with the family it was so interesting! And it was fun! The first thing in the day was getting up. I got up a little late on Sunday because the trip was very tiring.. I was exhausted. Afterwards, the father of the family called Paul took me for a walk by car, showed me the way to go to school, then took me to see the city center, the shopping center and the oldest part of town. Finally he showed me the beach and we saw the sea, it was really fantastic! I liked the view very much! Then we went home and made a little lunch, as they almost do not eat for lunch, after lunch we got to watch a film of James Bond. It was difficult to understand because it was action and I didn't know many words, but they put subtitles for me! =) After watching the movie we went to have dinner, the dinner was the largest meal of the day! There was a lot of food on the table! I was freaking out!
At the end of the day we accompany the grandchildren to the train station, because they live in London

It was great to get up hearing the little boys of the family shouting, I had a good family. At first I was a bit worried about how the family would be, but when I met them all the worries left my mind. It was a great and fun family and what I love the most was that they were very open minded!
By Altea Boix
On the first day I arrived very late at 11:00 o’ clock and I went to sleep.
In the morning, the family prepared for me a very good breakfast and afterwards, I went to the supermarket with my friend Robert and other French students.
Later, at 6 I went home and I had my lunch and went to bed.

The first day was so exciting, everything was new for us! When we entered the classroom, we met Nick, our teacher for the two weeks, he is so funny and a good teacher. First of all, he introduces the lessons and talked about the transition initiatives. He asked us to introduce ourselves to know something about us and then, the class started definitely.
After the break, Hal Gilmore from Transition Town Totnes explained us about transition. We were asked again to introduce ourselves and say what we wanted to study in the future to make us aware of what will happen in the future, for example in 10 years. He told us some words which will never be forgotten like PERFECTION IS THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD. He also said that WE WOULD ONLY CHANGE THE WORLD BY NOT BEING SHY, EXPRESS OURSELVES AND WORK TOGETHER.
Interesting!

Today has been a good day. It has only rained in the evening. In my opinion the lessons are more interesting in the morning than in the afternoon because in the morning its more like only being in class and in the afternoon we have visited the market and the other days we visited many things in Plymouth, so it is great.I think being here is a really good experience that you can`t forget and it helps you a bit with growing like a more polite person. I`m going to bed really satisfied. Bye, diary!

Tuesday 26th June
It was the first day with normal lessons after four days of visits: Totnes – Eden project – family day – Totnes. We had to get used to the daily routine in the UK, but we were very tired from the journeys, the weather... so it was a difficult day to have lessons.
In the afternoon we visited the Plymouth Aquarium which was little but really beautiful, all the animal were precious! It was like if we were inside the sea with all the fish, sharks and turtles swimming!
The best part of the day was the bowling. After the aquarium, the whole class went there and enjoyed the evening. We needed to break with the routine and have a rest.
