In the afternoon some of us (Michela, Marina, Valeria, Simone and Kevin) met their host families, while two girls (Roberta and Ambra) stayed overnight in the beautiful hostel of Diez, sharing the room with some French Girls. Also our teachers and the French teachers stayed overnight in the same hostel.

WELCOME AND SCHOOL TOUR The German Group prepared for us and the French girls some nice songs and the mayor of the town made a speech as welcome. Four German girls showed us their school, which has some different courses. It is very big and has an excellent organization.

After the school tour we visited Limburg (a city near Diez), that lies in western Hesse between the Taunus and the Westerwald on the river Lahn. A guide explained us a lot of interesting things about this wonderful city. LIMBURG AN DER LAHN

COLOGNE

The third day we visited Cologne. It is Germany's fourth-largest city, and is the largest city both in the German Federal State of North Rhine- Westphalia and within the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Area, one of the major European metropolitan areas with more than ten million inhabitants. Cologne is located on both sides of the Rhine River. The city's famous Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) is the seat of the Catholic Archbishops of Cologne. It is dedicated to Saint Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The cathedral is a World Heritage Site, one of the best- known architectural monuments in Germany, and Cologne's most famous landmark, described by UNESCO as an "exceptional work of human creative genius". It is Germany’s most visited landmark, attracting an average of 20,000 people a day.

After visiting the cathedral and taking a walk around the shops, we enjoyed a tipical beer in one of the most famous beer houses of Cologne. Michela and Sophia, a German girl. Italian girls and Sophia. Italian, German and French Teachers.

After three wonderful days we had to star our work: create a tour operator.

Firs of all each group presented the different types of business of his country and a hypothetical itinerary with attractive and interesting places to visit in his region.

After listening to the three presentations, we were divided into four different groups (composed by Italian, French and German people). We worked together in order to create our tour operator. Our initial objectives were to find a suitable: Business name Logo Legal form Location

We achieved the goals thank to an active partecipation, a good cooperation, adeguate linguistic skills and adeguate knowledge to deal with the task. Business name: EUROPEAN DREAMS Legal form: PRIVATE LIMITED COMPANY (Ltd.) Location: FRANCE

ALL TOGETHER AT SCHOOL

The days we spent together helped us to meet students from other counties and to improve and test our language skills in English. We had a lot of fun, but at the same time we worked with dedication and professionalism, thus reaching the initial objectives of our trip. It was a wonderful experience that surely will always remain in our hearts and our minds, because it gave us some new friends.
