Day by day of this mobility

DAY 1:  Sunday 14th

Sunday morning was planned to be with our host families. Valentina’s family and I went to a museum, where we saw a lot of incredible paintings. After that, we ate in an Italian restaurant. In the afternoon, we all met at Tollwood Christmas Market. There, we visited a huge tent with lots of stands and shops inside. The German people drank some hot and spiced ponch called Glühwein (mulled wine). Finally, we met the teachers at the market’s entrance and everyone went back home.
