Palermo

Third day

We got together in their school around 9 o'clock. The day started with a lecture of Palermos art and history, followed by lectures about carnival's and their traditions, which were very interesting. Then we had a little coffe break, it lasted about 30 minutes. Well, I wasn't able to indroduce me in italian before the Italian language mini lesson, which was made by Italian students.
After the lectures we went out to see the Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele, which is the biggest in Italy and 3rd in Europe. It was really enourmous, with 7 tiers of boxes it seats 1350 people. We had a tour around the theatre, we had a chance to see the vip box and a room with perfect acoustics.
When we left the theatre we went to have lunch. We went with our hosts to taste traditional food, molto bueno ! We really liked it, althought it didn't look so good.
After the lunch we had a little free time to visit market's and then we gathered again in the school to a lecture about Italian national events and celebrations, which were made by the students, and they were interesting to watch. The lecture didn't last long and soon we were off to the homes, where we had, atleast i did, very good meal. And we were off to bed, where i fell asleep immediately.

The beginning of the trip

First day.

The departure from the front of the school was at 5.45, so we had to wake up at about 5 o'clock, which wasn't easy. Fortunately nobody slept in and we reached the airport right on time. Flight to Riga lasted for 40 minutes and from Riga to Rome for 2 hours and 50 minutes. When we reached Rome, a taxi was already waiting for us. We took our belongings and drove to the hotel where we were staying. After we had settled in, we decided to go sightseeing and our primary destination was the colosseum. We didn't have chance to see it from the inside so we did pictures of the colosseum from every outer corner. From there, our direction was Vatican, where we also visited some souvenirshops. Before heading hotel, our teacher wanted to show us Spanish steps and I'm glad that we went there, because the view was very beautiful. When we arrived back to the hotel, everybody was tired, so after taking showers we fell asleep immediately.







Second day.

Our day started with packing our bags together again and then we drove to the airport to fly to Palermo. The flight didn't last long and when we reached Palermo, our tension was at highest point because we were about to see our hosts for the first time. After we had introduced ourselves to everybody, we went to meet the rest of the families. We had some free time before we had to gather again in their school. When we got there, the Italian students made some presentations and after that we had free time. All the students got together in the English Garden nearby, where we chatted, laughed and had very much fun. When it got dark outside and it was about the time to have dinner, everybody left and that is how the second day ended.

Christmas Ball

On 22nd December, we had a Christmas ball. This ball was meant for students from form 9 to form 12. It was a lovely event and all students were dressed festively – the boys were wearing suits and the girls were wearing beautiful dresses. In the beginning, every class had to do something to get their little candy packets, which the school had provided for every student. Every form had different tasks to perform. The ninth formers had to read poems, the tenth form had to sing songs, the eleventh had to dance and the twelfth form had to perform a little play. The performances were very diverse and it was very enjoyable. After the performances every class went to their home class and the form master gave them their Christmas packets. When it was done, we went back to the school hall. Our school headmaster had hired a band, which played all night long. This band sang very typical Estonians songs. It was very lovely to watch boys asking girls for a dance. When the band wanted to take a break, some girls performed us their well- prepared dances. I think the ball was most enjoyed by the twelfth form, because this was their last ball in our school. In conclusion, I would like to say that this event was very good for all of us and we are really looking forward to next year’s Christmas ball.
