First day at school

At 12:30 pm our driver was waiting for us in front of our apartment. He doesn´t speak english so the only words we spoke with him were "bom dia" which means good morning and "obrigada" which means thank you :). We arrived at school at lunch time so we had a big, delacious meal and went for our english class. At the english class everybody introduced themselfes to us and we introduced ourselfes to them. We played interesting games and learned useful things in english. After english lessons we had jewelry class that was amazing, the teacher taught us how to make a wire!

A trip to the castle

Obraz
On a sunny Sunday afternoon we decided to take a trip to the castle. It was very hot, so we had to put on a ton of sunscreen, in opposite way we would look like shrimps, because here the sun is much stronger then in Poland so you have to protect your skin and eyes. The drive took us less then an hour from Rio Tinto (a town near Porto) to Gumaraes, and we arrived to the monumental castle. The castle was built in the 10th century to defend the monastery. Inside of that edifice was presented history of Portugal. It was really interesting, because this small country has huge history.

Exploring villages

Obraz
We don't waste our time here, we don't only explore the city but also villages near by. It's interesting to see all the houses diffrent and peoples gardens filled with lemon and orange trees. From what we have seen portuguese really appreciate having there own vegetables and fruits. The oranges here taste amazing we love to squeeze fresh orange juice everyday for breakfast and sprinkle a little bit of lemon on fish from Atlantic Ocean.
