Day 4 (5th October)



In the morning, we visited a university with our class and played a few games where winning earned us gifts like thermoses, socks and keychains. At 11:00 AM, we went to a restaurant for a meal with our teacher, María, and the Hungarian teacher, Katie; it served as both a welcome and a farewell, as we were meeting the Hungarian teacher while the Spanish teacher was leaving that day. 


Afterward (1:00 PM), we went to the Central Market Hall (a venue featuring artisan markets and many souvenir shops, where I bought magnets for my family and friends). Finally, we went again to the Etele shopping mall (4:00 PM).

Day 1 (2nd October)

Imagen
We arrived in Budapest at 11:30 AM and went our separate ways. I first met my partner's stepmother  (she is very nice and sweet) and, later, her father. She drove us home, where they gave me a tour of the house, including my room (I love it).  Around 8 p.m., I went with Eliza, her sister, and Iris to Citadella Park. Since it was dark, it was hard to see the way up, but once we reached the top, everything was illuminated (the statues, the bridges, etc.). The views from there were really beautiful, and we could see all of Budapest lit up.  Finally, we took a boat ride on the Danube and passed by Buda Castle.

Day 32 (2nd November)

I woke up at 5:20 to leave the house by 6:00 AM. I said goodbye to my partner and her stepmother drove Iris and me to the hotel where our teacher was staying. Once there, I said goodbye to the stepmother and we waited for Lecia to arrive.  When we were all together, we left our suitcases there and took a walk around the city, searching for the small statues known as "Kolodko", that are scattered throughout Budapest.  Afterward, we stopped at a souvenir shop to pick up a few last-minute items and then  at a supermarket, before heading back to the hotel to collect our luggage.   With our bags in tow, we made our way to the metro station and then we caught a bus that went directly to the airport.  We arrived at the airport around 12:45 PM and waited until it was time to board our flight at 3:15 PM.

Day 17 (18th October)

Imagen
We didn’t do anything that morning because we were at home sleeping.   In the evening (6:00 PM), we went to a supermarket because I wanted to make a cheesecake for my host family, that is the same kind that Léda had loved back in Verín.  At 8:00 PM, we took the cheesecake out of the oven and they tried it (they loved it). Afterward, we went to bed early because we had to get up very early the next day.
