We have come back from our English Camp
in Santa Pau (La Garrotxa). What a great experience!
On Wednesday we visited the volcanoes
museum in Olot. We saw samples of many things learnt in class. We
could also live the feeling of being on an earthquake and it seemed
quite real. Then we went to La Fageda d'en Jordà and walked through
impressive and beautiful beeches.
We found out that we were
actually walking on giant bubbles of gas!
After lunch we
arrived to our house and went to our rooms.
At night we
played a really fun Night Game in Santa Pau. It wasn't scary at all
but some of us were a little bit scared this year... Do you remember
the stories that we made? Some ended with a “tan tan taaaaan!”
Thursday
was the big trip day. We walked to Rocanegra volcano, Santa Margarida
volcano and Croscat volcano. It felt good to be inside the cone of a
volcano! After 12 km, we were really tired, but we kept on playing
football or basketball back in the house. After having
a shower we had OUR moment
of freedom!! We could walk around the village without our teachers
for almost 1 hour! The perfect moment to have fun and buy some
“secallones”. Then dinner time
and finally the big competition! We will never forget the most
romantic Romea and
Juliettos,
or the yogurt test... What a fun night. That second night we were so
tired that most of us fell asleep very easily. Only most of us...
Of course, we remember our two workshops: orientation and sundials,
where we learnt and enjoyed at the same time.
We
want to thank our monitors and teachers Marina, Marc and Carlota, who
helped us discover many interesting things about volcanoes and who
always talked in English.
A 3-day adventure that we will never forget. Goodbye La Garrotxa!
