My experience

It’s difficult to summarize our trip in a few words, but I’ll try. We left Chile on March 14th all very nervous but anxious. The month in Portland was really good, everybody wanted to meet you and everything was new. My family was amazing; they did everything they could for me, and it was a lot! The school was so different and I think that that was the most fun thing. The last day finally came, we had to leave Portland. It was so sad, some of us cry, but it wasn’t the end! The tour started, the first city was Boston. It was wonderful, I loved the aquarium and we had a really good time. Then we went to NEW YORK CITY! We made so many things there, we had a blast. And finally we went to Washington, it was cool.

We went to many museums and it was the end. Everything was really fast, I know that I will never forget it.

Bye Portland!

My experience in Portland was good! I was a little nervous and sad to leave my Chilean friends and family but when I arrived there and I met Abby, my American sister, and my American family I forgot that I was sad and I had a very good time.
Ours hosts families and American teachers let us do many activities. For example, one weekend we went to ski at Sugarloaf and another on, Abby took me to go shopping to Freeport.
After staying a month in Portland, going to school, having fun with our hosts, speaking English, we had to say bye to our host families and leave Maine! So the last day, our English teachers, prepare us a breakfast at Cheverus. After that we went to the bus we said goodbye.

My travel

We got there on March 15th in Portland... When we arrived ours families was there with some present. My family gave me a teddy bear it was so cute! And candy.

When I got to my home Maura showed me our room, that was so pretty! Then Maura and I went out with Casey (her dog) and we went to eat some ice -cream.

My first day in the school was so good, the classes were very short and they had the same schedule but in different order. The school had a good cafeteria.
One Friday we went to skiing at sugarloaf, that was a cool day, it was so fun!
One day we gone to the bowling! I lost
Our last day was so sad Maura, me and the others girls cried! but we had to go.

Boston Tour

The Boston Tour started 2 days ago when we arrived to the Doubletree hotel near 2 o'clock. We only had one room to leave our luggage so we left in there and then we left to walk around Boston. That afternoon we walked through the Harvard sq. and then through Central sq.

On the next day we had a city tour of Boston at the downtown, after that tour we had lunch at the quincy market and after that we went to the Boston aquarium. We stayed almost all the afternoon at the aquarium and then we went to the science museum to watch a movie in a 180 degree screen that made a sensation of being part of the film.

Today we went to a town near Boston that was the first town founded by the english who came to North America. We went there to a museum that made a representation of how was the life in 1700 when the englishmen arrived. Tomorrow we are leaving at 10 am to NY, we are all very anxious to get there and to have a wonderful time.
