My last summer

My last summer

Hi my name is Jordi and now I'm going to explane my last summer.

First I went to a campus in Tiana with my friends: Adrià, Eloi and Quim. There, I was very scared first because I saw the rooms. The rooms were very big and in my room there were about 15 beds. There I met a lot of friends like Oriol Soldevilla, Enric, Roger, Pau, Oliver, Marc etc. I also met an other friends like Ignasi Vilarrasa, Marc, Núria, Violeta, Roser...They were from Barcelona and Tortosa a town in the south of Catalonia.

In the campus I learned a lot of English and I had fun too.

In August, I went to Venice, Florence, Genova and Pisa. First I went to Genova by car. There I stead at the hotel for 1 night to rest. I also went to the beach near there but I don't swam a lot.

In the second day we went to Venice. It was fantastic. First I went to Sant Marco's square. I had a coffee there and it was very expensive. On the other day I went by gondola and it was very expensive too but it was very interesting and exciting.

I was very happy in Venice.

Three nights before I went to “La Firenze”. There I visited a lot of churches and the “ponte Veccio”. I also ate a lot of pizza and pasta.

The last day I went to the tower of Pisa.

I had a great holidays!

In the lasts days of the summer I stayed in Banyoles. I went to the lake and the swimming pool with my friends. It was fantastic.
