Latvia - October 2012

In October of 2012 Maria del Mar Tous, Irene Vicens, Núria Infante, Tòfol Massanet and Pere Riutort travelled to Latvia, specifically to Skrunda.

We spent the first three days in Riga, a wonderful city!! The first meeting with the other countries was inside the bus. We were shy and nervous but we started a conversation very quickly. The trip was very long, so when we arrived at Skrunda we were very tired and all we wanted was to go home and sleep. We met our new families for a week and we felt like home during all the Comenius.

We did some workshops during the experience. We did a research about a plant and then we built that plant with recycled materials. We also spent a night to show typical dances of each country and it was so much fun.

We did a lot of excursions as well: we went to the dairy farm and the smell was disgusting, but we laughed a lot! Another day we went to the eolic headquarters - it was a boring visit, but on the way back to Skrunda we stopped to have dinner at a lovely little restaurant. Another excursion was the visit to a museum of fishes - this one was interesting because we learnt a lot of things and we could see different species of fish. Another day we did a tour through Skrunda to see all the places and we took a lot of pictures. One of the last visits was to the town hall of the village where we learnt different things about Europe, our Comenius, etc. And the last excursion was the visit to a very big forest - we really liked it: it was beautiful and interesting.

The last night we did a party all together and we danced, we sang, we ate... We also took a lot of pictures that now are memories of this wonderful experience! The goodbye was very sad because we had so much fun with the other people during the week and we were sure that we would miss them.

We are very grateful for how the families treated us and we are very happy for the new friendships that were born in Skrunda. The experience of living in a different country was fantastic because we could see how different Latvia and Spain are and how they live there. We would repeat this experience a thousand of times.
