Hi! I am Pedro, one of the members of the student exchange. I am going to write about the last three days:

On Fridays morning we woke up early in the morning, about half past six. We went to the ITD house for having a meeting with July and Victor Rosales, a man who works in another organization. We were talking about our expectations of the United States and the political and educational system of USA. We finished about half past twelve and we went to the central town to have lunch at a mexican restaurant. After that, in the afternoon we went to Amherst Regional High School to meet our host students and visit the school. The had prepared a reception for us. We had pizza, some cake and beverages. In the evening, at seven o'clock we went to watch a girls' basketball match: Amherst against Norhthampton. When we returned to the house we ordered our last meal together. It was chiken wings with "french fries" and Coke. We went to bed a bit early because we had to get up at 6.45

We woke up at 6.45. We had breakfast and after that Abril came to the house to pick us up and bring us to Boston, the main city in the state of Massachusetts. The journey took about two hours long. Arriving to Boston we were surprised by the high buildings and the large quantity of snow that covered the streets. We left our suit-cases in the hotel, which was really comfortable and warm. We went walking to the city center to have an overview of it. It was incredibly cold and there was a horrible freezing wind. We took a trolley bus, which showed us nearly the whole city. The guide spoke very fast and it was difficult to follow him, but in spite of this we enjoyed it a lot.
We returned to the center to go shopping and have lunch. In the evning we went to the Prudential Tower, that is one of the highest buildings in the city. it was amazing, we could see all Boston. Later, there was snow storm so we had to return to the hotel.

Next day, it was Sunday and when we woke up everything was covered in snow. We took the van and went Museum of Science. It was really interesting but we didn't spend much time because we had to go the go Harvard and then come back to Amherst. We were surprised by the quantity of buildings that make up the University of Harvard. We also went shopping to the official Harvard Shop. In the evening, when we came back the families picked us up and took us home. We were really sad to leave our house.
