Westlake, Texas: Day 8 04/21/08

On Monday, we went to WLA and stayed there until 3:45 P.M. In the morning, Jon gave us time to prepare some presentations on Vizcaya: social life, food, TV, the city of Bilbao, and the ASB. We did them in Spanish so tha the WLA students could practice their Spanish. After having finished preparing them, we went to the school's gym to watch the last WLA students presenting their personal projects, and after that wandered around having a look at each project. We then presented ours to them and then got time to update our blogs. We then had lunch at 1:00 P.M. and a break.

After the break, we had English class with the 10th grade WLA students. We watched a video called "Death of a Salesman".

Our host parents picked us up and took us to Anisha's house, in order to celebrate a farewell party. The Chandra Family lived in an amazing mansion, slightly smaller to Olivia's. It also had two floors, as well as a pool table, an arcade machine, a pinball machine, a table football, a cinema, a sports gym, a swimming pool with a pretty small bridge above it, and a small cinema. We all had a variety of food to eat and all sorts of drinks, and spent a lovely time altogether, hanging around, listening to music and playing in the recreational room. It was our last day in Texas with the WLA guys.

Later, at night, Olivia, Alberto, and I watched the reamining movie we rented, "Without a Paddle". It was really funny, but missed the last thrity minutes as I fell completely asleep in the coach, as well as Alberto and Olivia. We then took a photo of us three as a nice souvenir, and went straight to our bedroom at. We then had to pack everything in our suitcases for the following day's ordeal trip.
