Our second day in London

Today is our second day in London. The students cannot stop talking about their families. They are explaining their first contact experiences and, luckily, they are very positive. Two very important things. The first one, they have eaten English food and it wasn't that bad. And the second, and not less important, is that they are speaking English! Which is great news for you and us...
Now, they are in class, but finally, we are not in central London. We are in a building in Ealing, so there's been a small change in our programme. After class, we will pick up our packed lunches and we'll eat them in Green Park, in the centre of London, under this fastastic English sun! Another great sunny hot day in London.

Some of our students played an international football match in the park with other players from Spain, Italy, France and England.

Our plans for the afternoon are exciting, we are walking around some of the most important buildings and places of London.
Later today, we will tell you more about it with some pictures!

Now sightseeing, or 'real London' as our students say. First of all, Buckingham Palace and Queen Victoria Memorial. Then St James Park and Marble Arch, and a short stop at Trafalgar Square and the huge black lions. I think that our students have taken hundreds of pictures! Red phone boxes, 10 Downing Street, flags, etc... They never stop, and finally, Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament. 'Real London'! Some students were a bit disappointed today because they wanted a ride in The London Eye, but it has not been posible. Not everybody wanted to do it, and we couldn't split the group in two parts with just one guide... So, next time, a perfect excuse to come back to London.

Bueno, vamos a empezar a contar lo que verdaderamente interesa, las mil y una anécdotas...empezaré con mis gazapos...esta mañana antes de salir de la casa, estaba hablando con Helen, la señora de la casa y me pregunta: How old are they? Y yo que digo...Saturday! Gloria todavía se está riendo...también hemos aprendido que "quince" es membrillo.
A esto añadir las de nuestros alumnos: los enchufes que no les funcionan porque no dan al interruptor, la ducha que va al revés, la sopa rara de verdura, la ONU en casa de Marc y Roberto, "little Spain" en casa de Álex y Pau,el partido internacional de fútbol en Green Park entre los nuestros, italianos y "british", las tarjetas de metro que han perdido,...y otras que no podemos contar...ja, ja, ja!
Ya hemos hecho la ronda telefónica y todos están cenados y algunos ya durmiendo... Ya podemos retirarnos. Mañana nos espera un gran día: Candem town!

See you tomorrow!
