Our exchange from Germany to Gernika

 

We arrived to Bilbao on Sunday afternoon. There were waiting the Spanish exchange partners for us. They had look at us like we were animals in a zoo. We were very excited and nervous to see them. The first evening was special for the Spanish and the German people because we do not know each other. But we were taken up in the family after a short time.

On the first day we went to the for the Basque important tree and learned a lot of the history from Gernika. Futhermore we saw the painting from Picasso. We like it because it is so meaningful that you can feel the persons pain. Then we had a Basque and biology lesson in school.

The next day we drove to Bermeo and visited the fish museum. In the afternoon we went to the peace museum of Gernika. All these was very interesting.

On Wednesday we drove to Bilbao again. It is a nice city and we saw the libary of the university, the university and the Guggenheim museum. We like the buildings a lot but we think that the museum is not so interesting inside.

After this day, on Thursday we visited the Cidre museum and we were allowed to taste the apple wine. For us it is a bit to bitter, so we do not like it. Then we arrived to San Sebastian, saw the beach, the sculpture and made a lot of beautiful photos. After this we had free time for going shopping or sitting on the beach.

It was a fantistic time till now because we went out with all Spanish and German every evening. Here it is very different to Germany because the people have a lot of energy and can eat so a lot of food, that is not normal for German.

When we will fly home on Monday we will miss the time and the people a lot. We look forward to the Spain visit.
