My exchange partner was called Jillian Carbone, she was 17; her mother was called Georgine; her father, Joshep; her sister, Ally; and her brother, Drew. They also had a small dog called Dash, they really love him.]]> 2017-11-28 15:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210952833 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210953088 We arrived in Billerica, there, our host families were waiting for us. We met, and then they showed me their house. I felt like if I was at home since the first minute. We watched a film together and then I went to sleep because I was very tired.]]> 2017-11-28 15:27:55 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210953088 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210954171 In the morning Jillian showed me her neighborhood and we were playing with her dog. In the afternoon we went to Boston. They showed me their favourite places and we had fun together. At night we went to the cheese factory (a typical restaurant there) to have dinner.

In the morning we went to the supermarket to buy food for the rest of the week and in the evening we went 'pumpink carving' to Jess' house (a Jillian's friend). We also tried a lot of Halloween desserts.]]> 2017-11-28 15:44:15 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210964725 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/210968105 In the morning we went to school and we attended to our exchange partner's lessons.

Then we went to the shopping center and we had lunch there. In the afternoon we went to the amusement park. It was so terrifying because it was decorated with Halloween stuff. There were also a lot of haunted houses to visit.]]> 2017-11-29 19:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211595351 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211600621 This day we went to Maine, which is another state. It was so far away from Billerica so we travelled very early and we spent all day there. We were walking by the sea, watching houses from rich people, eating, buying souvenirs... At night I had to do my suitcase because at 4 a.m. the bus to New York was leaving.]]> 2017-11-29 19:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211600621 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211605235 These two days we were visiting New York.

They also eat a lot of chicken, soup or meatballs. They are famous because of their hamburguers. They also put cheese or butter in almost every meal. Fruit is also on the table every time.]]> 2017-11-29 20:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211612429 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211614038 There are 6 hours of difference from here, and their schedules aren't similar neither. They wake up every day at 6 in the morning and have breakfast at this time. They have lunch at half past ten or eleven, they eat something at two o'clock when they arrive home and then they have dinner at six. At weekends, they wake up at 9 more or less and have lunch at half past one.]]> 2017-11-29 20:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211614038 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211889718 2017-11-30 15:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211889718 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211892190 2017-11-30 15:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211892190 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211893156 2017-11-30 15:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211893156 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211894288 2017-11-30 15:23:22 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211894288 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211895152 2017-11-30 15:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211895152 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211896048 2017-11-30 15:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211896048 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211897010 2017-11-30 15:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211897010 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211897970 2017-11-30 15:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211897970 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211898993 2017-11-30 15:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211898993 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211899789 2017-11-30 15:31:19 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211899789 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211900850 2017-11-30 15:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211900850 saradiegodedios https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211905508 2017-11-30 15:40:48 UTC https://padlet.com/saradiegodedios/cuspx7w93o8p/wish/211905508
