They presented photos of the trip to Sweden and France too. They showed a bit of the nature in Neumark and the sights in their city.
Swedish were the second group who showed their Power Point, presented by two girls: Katerine and Mariam. Their Power Point talked about their city, Lund which is in the south of Swedish, they said that their city was full of students, it was so green because there it rained a lot, and so much people use the bike and not the car. Thay talked about their school too, the Falads-Garden. It was so beautiful, we enjoyed it.

At ten o'clock we arrived to the natural park, we went by bus and first we had twenty minutes to eat or drink something and see some parts of the village, Santa Cilia.
Then we went to a room in wich a woman taught us the geology, vegetation and fauna of this park.
In the wall there were a lot of photos of animals and plants.
Later, we went to another room, with many showcases representing typical scenes of the park.
In the room of the ''Friends of the Vultures” we saw the different types of vultures in this park like: the Eurasian Griffon, easy to identity by its characteristical circular flight on ascending in the thermal currents, the Bearded Vulture and the Golden Eagle.
We also saw the different typical animals in the park: the wild bear, fox, wild cat or mountain cat and garden dormouse. Then, we went to the beginning of the park and we went trekking.
When we needed to go across the river was very funny because a lot of people put their foot into the water.
While we were walking the woman showed us the different plants as Rosemary and basil and different trees like the Portuguese Oak, the Scots Pine, the Beechwood, the Oak Wood or the Boxwood.
Later, we went back to the bus and we went to a restaurant and had a very good lunch.
In short, we had a very nice day and we learned a lot of new things!

While we were going to the museum of the Roman theatre the guide explained to us the most important streets in Roman time, that were: the “Cardo street” that is the same as Don Jaime and the “Decumano” that is the same as the “paseo La Mina”.
When the guide finished the explanation, we had a meal and we went to the museum of the Roman theatre, there the guide explained the customs of the Romans and we saw the ruins of the Roman Theatre.
