Summer 2010

This summer after coming back from New York I stayed a week here in Bilbao and then on the 1st of July I went to Germany. I spent the month there, learning German. This is my third year going to Germany and this time I went to Koblenz-Vallendar which is a small town near Köln and Bonn. This was a residence and we were around 40 people. Many came from Spain but there were also american, canadian, french, danish, polish, turkish, italian, swiss, greek, chinese people. Between us we spoke a mixture of english, spanish, german and french. During my stay I went to Köln and Bonn which are beautiful cities. The weather was really good and we spent most of the day outside in the swimming pool or doing some sport. In the morning we had 3 hours of class in the morning and then we had free time until the night. I came back to Spain at the end of the month.

The first week end of August I went to Madrid to visit my family there. In the end I stayed a week there and when I came back from there I went to Turkey. I stayed two weeks there during which I did a tour around half of the country becasuse on the eastern side of the country there is practicaly nothing . I visited cities such as Istambul, Efeso, Troy, Capadocia, Antalya and Pammukale. What I most liked was the city of Istambul even though it was really hot. If you like to see a mixture of cultures this is a good city to do so because it is the ancient Constantinople. Troy you could not say it isa city because they are only ruins and you can just say this is Troy. Efeso is a beautiful ancient city however,
when I went it conincided with several ferries and there could be several hundreds of people walking on the ruins. Capadocia was nice because during one sunrise I went on a baloon and saaw this region from the sky which was really nice. In Antalya we reached 44 degress at 11 in the morning and we practically passed the day in the swimming pool which by the end of the day was so hot you did not even want to go in.
