In the afternoon of Wednesday we arrived in Palermo. Our host families already waited for us and they took us home. In the evening some of us already went to interesting places like the Massimo theatre. All of us got used to their host families.
In the morning of the next day we went to school and met the other Comenius-twins. In the school we had to research information about Palermo’s sights, while the other half made a guided tour of the city. Our results were shown to the other half of the group. Round about 3 p.m. we had free time, but our Italian twins planned something for us. In the afternoon we visited a kind of beach were we relaxed.
In the evening the whole group kind of split: we met in two groups. So we were at Riccardo’s house with the Spanish people and a part of the English group. On the next day we met again in the school in the morning. We worked out ways of presenting information well and we practiced these ways through presenting information about the town where we live. After that a tourist guide showed us interesting places of Palermo. In addition to that a few Italian twins showed us a Popart museum.
In the evening we met again with half of the people at Irene’s house.
On Saturday we had the biggest event: We went to Cefalu with everybody. They showed us a big Cathedral and gave us the opportunity to go up to a rock or to relax on the beach. The teachers went to see the rock. We, the teenagers, stayed on the beach. In the evening we all met at the Massimo theatre for the last time because all exept us left on Sunday. But we visited a little village where Vito, Paula’s twin, lives. On Monday morning we also left.
