CULTURAL WEEK CEPA JOAQUÍN SOROLLA

This year our cultural week took place from the 7th to the 9th of May. We had a range of differnt activities conducted by excellent professionals. We had Taichi, yoga and meditation early n the morning. We had an interesting story telling workshop, a creative ilustration for stories workshop, a workshop about the history and techniques of ancient writing, a visit to Museo de América, our second Gantronomy event with lots of interaction and delicious recipes, an amusing sculpture workshop at Estudio de Arte Kroom conducted by the genious of my old friend Yolanda, a concert promoted and performed by our students and the VII edition of the Story Writing Contest, in which the writer INMA CHACÓN delighted us all.
I am vey happy about the result of the cultural week, we learnt unusual things, students interacted, we discovered new talents and new skills and we knew that dreams can come true and that sometimes the dreams of others became ours. A good lesson!

BOSTON


Cambridge, Massachusetts
Boston, Massachusetts
I lived in the US for one year. I got a scholarship at William College as a Teaching Assistant for Spanish. Williamstown is a beautiful university town in the middle of the purple mountains in Massachusetts. The capital of this state is Boston, which is said tio be the most European America city. I agree with that: The only skyscraper is the Hancock Tower, there are lovely residential areas like Beacon Hill There are many places of interest such as the Prudential Centre, which is a meeting point for Bostonians and tourists, the Boston Common, a peaceful park in the middle of the city full of squirrels, the romantic port where Europians arrived in the country to fulfill their American dream, the bay, impressive brigdes to cross the river Charles or the river Mystic, the famous bar Cheers. Boston is a very warm and cosy city. It's not the cold American city one can think of. The River Charles separates Boston from Cambridge, where Harvard University is set. Cambridge means to me peace and wisdom. There are beautiful buildings on green fields with trees full of colourful leaves and students going to and fro on their bikes or walking. The most intelligent brains of the States study at IT in Cambridge.
I can't believe what is going on there these days. People running a marathon were killed in front of their own children, a child died waiting for his father's end of the race, a policeman was shot in Cambridge... What the hell is happening in our world? Do the squirrels know how wild humans are?

RUGBY: WALES WON THE 6 NATIONS!!!!

The exciting 6 nations rugby championship is over. Wales needed to beat England for 8 points and they won 30-3 in an incredible game. As a homage to Wales, a land which I love, I show you this link with the history of the Welsh anthem: "Land of my fathers" and the rugby players singing it.
Congratulations WALES !!!!
