Today I saw painting in the Reina Sofia Museum, I went to Pontevedra, and meet my Spanish host family. First, I wrote my diary in the early morning. That's why slept in late also Scott alarm did not work. At 7am I woke up for breakfast and got ready. Then I took a shower, got dressed, and ate. Along with the rest of the group I went to the lobby with my book bag and my suitcase to store them in the hotel closet.

Later on we took two metros to get to the Reina Sofia Museum. We also walked part of the way. I entered the museum and saw works of art from the Spanish Civil War. The most moving was Guernica by Pablo Picasso. The painting is one of the most moving that I saw because of it's ghostly figures that are suffering. Maestra told us that Picasso wanted to capture the pain and suffering of the civilian population that were the victims of the bombing. Picasso easily achieves his goal. When I finished seeing Guernica, I went to see works by Dali. However, I was not able to because they were part of a special exhibit. In the USA we do not talk about the Spanish Civil was, so this was a good opportunity to learn about this historical period.

When we left the museum we went to a restaurant in the metro. In the restaurant, I ate a lot of food: fresh fruit, chicken cordon bleu, a drink, and dessert. CHOCOLATISIMO!!! I ate a lot of food. We were in a hurry so Iran along with the group to the hotel to get our suitcases and then went to the airport. There I bought a bottle of water and fell asleep while waiting for the flight to the depart. I woke up to board the plane. I sat next to Maestra and we talked about history and my diary.
Al llegar el vuelo a Vigo, yo conocí mi familia de España. Yo no comprendi sus palabras, pero ellos eran muy graciosos y yo pase un buen rato. Entonces, yo llegue a apartamento de la familia y nosotros comimos la pizza con queso y jamón para la cena.
When we arrived in Vigo, I met my Spanish host family. I did not understand what they said at first, but they were very funny and I had a good time. I arrived in my host families apartment and we ate pizza topped with cheese and ham for dinner.
