Wednesday, 25.

Yesterday we went to the library like everyday and those last days we worked so hard because we haven't got enough time to finish the magazine. We did the magazine and we had to rewrite some sections because we had to write with our own words and we had to put more photos and looks like a real magazine. Then we went to Parker's Piece for lunch and then Esther, Maria and I went to Primark to buy some presents. When we finished we arrived home and we were relaxing in the garden.
At six o'clock Claudia and Maria arrived and we started the Book Club and each one had to explain our book. We had a good time because the Book Club is a way to speak a lot. Then the cooking team made the dinner and after dinner we had some free time and Serafin, Rodrigo, Maria, Esther and I were in the living room and we told some laugh experiences. Afterwards, we started to make the guide videos around Cambridge and we laughed so much with a video of an ugly boy that he called Johnny.

Then we had lunch in the library and later we had a bit of free time and then we had to do an interview about the Olympic Games. For example, questions like, ''What do you think about the Olympics?'' or ''Do you agree or disagree with the Olympic Games?'', it was funny.

We arrived home very early because we had to do a Ghost Tour. When we finished the dinner we started to make up and dressed up like a ghost or zombies. When we went out everybody looked at us, we looked like a group of crazy people. Then we walked around the centre of Cambridge and visited all the places where strange things happened like Colleges Ghosts or The Haunted BookShop.

Wednesday 18; Murder Dinner.

Yesterday it was a rainy day like everyday, it's awful because you always have to go with umbrella and coat. We went to the library like everyday and we did our work and then we had to read our book because we will do a book club. 
Later we went to have lunch in the library because the guard isn't outdoors. Then we went to American Cemetery, it's a cemetery where the bodies of the dead in World War I and World War II are buried. There is a wall with the names of the people who were missed. There are 3812 people burried. This cemetery is very impressive because the graves are white and form a diamon, all of these are placed accurately. There are two kind of graves, the Jews with a star of David instead a cross and the Christians were like a cross. In this cemetery there are 20 woman burried and one medal of honor, Leon Vance.
In the evening we made the ''Murder Dinner'' and after dinner we got up the costumes like our characters. We laughed so much, because the characters were very funny.

Yesterday it was the most rainiest day ever I think, we went to the library again like every day and we wrote our weekend in the blog and then we had to go to Claudia's university again because the parks were so wet.
At 15:00 we went at cinema because at 15:30 the film started. The film was called ''Five-years engagement'' the film was about a couple that was engaged, but for some things and others they had to delay the wedding.

Weekend, 14, 15, 16.

On Friday we went to the library again and we updated our blogs and did the magazine, in the afternoon we were playing famous British sports, like cricket or frisby. We didn't know the rules of cricket and we had to learn it, it's a bit difficult, but it's like baseball. Then we met people the Christian Club.
On Satuday, (finally) we could wake up later and we had to do a bit of the magazine and then we went to Claudia's university and we had lunch there. Then we met Mathew and we started our tour with the bikes. For me, the begining was a bit difficult because we had to go to the road and in that moment there was a lot of traffic, then we went to a park and a road in the country we arrived at Granchester. It was a funny experience.
And on Sunday, we had free time all day. In the morning we had a British breakfast with beans... bacon, toast with butter, fried eggs and orange juice or milk. Then we had the rest of the day for ourselves. Maria, Esther and I went to a lot of shops and we tried on a lot of clothes and bought some clothes too.

This weekend was fantastic.

Thursday 12; Fliming around Cambridge

Yesterday we went to the library like everyday and we has to update our blogs and then we looked for some legends about Cambridge, for example, I found a horror legend about Corpus Chrity College. The legend said that the Doctor Butts took his life and during the earlier 20th century people could see his ghost like a white dressed and a marc in his throat. I found other stories about the Colleges of Cambridge.
Then we went to park for had lunch because yesterday was a good day, there was sun and even we could be with t-shirt!
Later we started our tour around Cambridge for filming the places we had to choose. The firts place was King's College and Serafin had to explain this, then was my turn and I had to explain The Eagle, it's a historic pub in Cambridge, it had four hundred years! The Eagle lived the discoverment of the "secret of life" and the severment of British and American flying aces during the Second World War and you can see inside the pub the names or the squadrom numbers in the ceiling.
Then we had some free time and we walked for the centr of Cambridge and we sit on grass of the Piece's Park. This place is like a "La Curva" in Merida! Then we had to come back alone at home, this wasn't a difficult work because we know the bus we had to take. At night we told the legend that we found in the library

Wednesday 11; FitzWilliam Museum and Horror Stories

Yesterday we came back to the library and we started ours tasks, for example, we updated our blogs and our diaries and we searched horror stories for the night too. Then I had to look for information about the Mathematical Bridge, its history and who designed and built it. I had to ask a librarian of Cambridshire Colletion to help me.
In the afternoon we went to have lunch at Claudia's university and then we had to find the way to arrive at Fitzwilliam Museum. This work isn't difficult because we had a map; we only asked once a man which was the way. When we arrived at Fitzwilliam Museum we left ours bags and coats and we visited the museum, there are a lot of expositions, for example, there was an Egyptian exposition with a tombs of pharaohs and there were figures of cats or other animals were important in the Egyptian times. There were a Greek and Roman expositions with some figures and utensils. In the second floor there were a lot of pictures from famous painters like Gericault, Monet, Degas or Cezzane.
For dinner we went to a typical restaurant here, where there are some famous British dishes. I ordered Roast Chicken with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and roast vegetables. Then we found one Christian pub, by chance, that had pancakes (these were really delicious!) and we met two girls. There you could play table tennis, card games and other board games.
We spent a nice day together. But in the night we told horror stories like The Jack Ripper or Bloody Mary's story... It was awful...

Tour around Cambridge

Yesterday we went on a tour around Cambridge, we visited a lot of the Colleges of Cambridge, for example, King's College, which is the biggest college in Cambridge. It has a big chapel where the choir sings. We listened to the choir too, it was impressive. We visited Trinity College too and Claudia told us a story about Prince Charles and his body guard. We walked near the River Cam, and we saw punts on river, they were fantastic. We were at the Eagle pub, it was near King's College and this pub was where the discoverers of DNA went everyday to breakfast and this pub had an old graffity of Second World War too.
We visited Emmanuel College, Market Place, Christ's College, St Mary's Church, Clare College and Queen's College too.
Mathematical Bridge was another place we went to. It's an interesting and important bridge because it was the first bridge built with mathematical calculations.
In the evening we did the dinner and later we had to do a summary about the places we visited and we told the jokes we found.

Yesterday

Cambridge is a big city, but it is easy to move around here because there are a lot of buses and taxis although not all are nice, but in genereal people are friendly. Yesterday, we woke up early and we had breakfast. Later, we went shopping to the supermarket. Then we went to a shopping centre. This is very big, and around there are a lot of shops and cafes. We went to do the library card, which we had to do alone with a little bit help of the teachers, then we had to ask in the tourist information office and we bought a map too.
Later we had lunch and then we went shopping, we tried on some clothes, I hope I can come back because I want to buy some clothes.
In the evening, we went to a big park where there were a lot of bookstalls and two concerts too, we were at an Indian concert and it was so cool. Later, after missing the bus, we arrived at the guest house and one group cooked as the other group was having a shower. At the dinner, the soup was disgusting because there were a lot of pieces of vegetables and... It was awful! But stuffed eggs were delicious, but the bad things didn't finish because ice-cream was awful too, it tasted like Apiretal.
But the day was fantastic.

Cambridge and me

Today it's a bad day in Cambridge, because it's grey, like yesterday, but it still hasn't rained. Our task today is to search for jokes for tonight, create our blogs and later write in our diaries. After this we're going to have lunch and later we're going to walk around Cambridge and visit the King's College.
It's a bit difficult to get used to Cambridge because everything is new for me: people, manners, meal times and the weather. I hope I can learn the English lifestyle and the customs from here.
