Nadežda: On the early morning of April 20th our trip to Portugal started. But only in the late evening we were there. Everyone was tired, but happy, that finally we had reached the destination. On the first day I liked the city of Lisbon.
On April 21st we visited the oceanarium. And I was amazed at how beautiful it was. In the evening we went to Constancia, where we lived for a week. I liked Constancia too. It is a small very beautiful town, where people are very friendly. I'm glad, that I was in this place and met many interesting people. This is a great experience for us, for me. Anna: 22.04.2019 during the day we had very interesting activities where all participants of this project were present. We improved the knowledge about each other. I think it was the best day when we had very good communication. And also we could see how Portugal people celebrate Easter. Zane: on April 23 the weather in Portugal wasn't that good. It was cold and raining. But we weren't afraid, because we spent good time there. We went to school, where the girl Margarida, who is my exchange student, is learning. I was shocked, when I got to know that they are having 0 to 20 grade system at school. After school I had a chance to go to the swimming practice together with Margarida. I really enjoyed the time I spent in Portugal! Viktorija K.: On April 24 we had an opportunity to participate in an activity that was dedicated to exploration of the history and surroundings of Constancia. It was very interesting to find out more about a place in which we lived for a week; however our general impression was ruined a bit by the changing weather. Later we had an opportunity to visit a planetarium where we saw a presentation about the change of states of stars and planets and we could experiment with given materials. Also it was very interesting to be in cosmonauts’ shoes because we had an opportunity to try out ''cosmonauts circle''. Līga: The day of April 25 began very early for our group, as we travelled by bus to the Portuguese capital Lisbon. As we entered the city, we saw very interesting and beautiful architectural examples. The Portuguese friends took us to a place where the whole of Lisbon had a wonderful view, and then there were constant photographs to keep this landscape from returning. We also looked at the palace of Sao Jorge, which is also one of the emblems of Lisbon. We also visited the most beautiful monastery and looked at the whole part of town, Belem. We also saw yellow trams, one of the symbols for Lisbon. Throughout the day, many steps had been taken to see more and more. On this journey, I gained a wide variety of feelings, because we also looked at the various things ranging from the city to the countryside. We learned to cope with some difficulties - weather conditions and adaption to life in a small village. Viktorija G.: This day we started very actively. At 10.00 a.m., participants of the project had gathered near the Tagus River to make a canoe trip. Unlike other days, the sun spoiled us, finally getting the long-awaited tan. As we sailed, we stopped at Constance's ruins, stepping up to the top of the castle, we could see a wonderful sight. After several hours of canoeing, we were expected to have lunch in a small village near Constance; the lunch was very tasty and substantial. After lunch, we went to the houses of our hosts. The evening was a closing event and a dinner prepared by the students of Constance's oldest classes. Local instrumentalists and singers contributed to the musical design. I liked this adventure and I was fascinated by this day, with unforgettable impressions and knowledge. I learned more about canoes and music traditions in Portugal. Luize: We met Portuguese traditions this week, everyday life, and enjoyed natural diversity. For the week we enjoyed their traditional and typical dishes, visited museums, churches. We also managed to attend and participate in the festival, which took place in Constancia, where we could get to know the lives of young people and their activities. In the last days of the project, we could see that we were well friended and met a lot of young pupils outside our country. This week was exciting, interesting, yet there we are able to assess the benefits of our country.
