Tom Walter (exchange of Amersham)
I had an
excellent time in Spain on the exchange. The Manzanera family were very
welcoming upon my arrival. I was a bit nervous to start with but they soon made
it very enjoyable. In the days we got to see a lot of the Spanish culture, for
example as soon as we arrived we went to a traditional market in Murcia.
We also had
great day trips to Valencia and Cartagena where we saw a lot of the city but
also had fun playing football on the beaches and in the streets (where we were
allowed).
It was also very
fun seeing what it was like inside a Spanish school. It surprised me how big
for cooking it was. I had a great weekend with the family, they took me to an
only natural beach where we saw many kite surfers.
I also went to the
Manzanera family beach house on La Manga, the stretch of land in between the
“El mar Menor” and the “Mar Mediterráneo”, small and Mediterranean seas. We
also saw a traditional Spanish fishing port and had a great meal there, but
since carnival was starting it was very noisy but the music was enjoyable.
My favourite
meal was definitively the paella at the Manzanera´s grandparents house. The
meal was homemade and amazing. We then sang happy birthday in Spanish to
Claudia´s and José Enrique´s grandmother.
My fondest memories of the trip was with the family but also going out in the
evenings in many different locations, Carnival was an amazing experience too and
an enjoyable night with the exchanges and my friends.
As well as all
the fun, I have learnt a lot of Spanish during my time here.
I´m excited to see everyone again in Amersham.
