Cooking Class
When we entered the classroom in which the cooking classes take place, the mother of our Austrian Spanish teacher was already waiting to us. The mother of Ulrike is a very nice lady, she showed us how to prepare apple strudel. The first thing that we had to do was washing our hands and then we started to prepare the apple strudel dough.
First we had to make dough with our hands, like in the picture. It was an interesting feeling. Then we had to cut the edges of the dough. We had to do it carefully, because the dough could have broken easily.
After this we had to add a little bit of sugar, the cinnamon and the apples.
Now we started to roll the dough with the sugar, the cinnamon and the apples. When we finished rolling it, we put it on a baking tray and in the oven.
As soon as the dough had a golden color, we had to wait 5 or 10 minutes before we could eat it.
This is the photo with the mother of Ulrike, when we were preparing the apple strudel.

Farewell Party
We celebrated the last night in Austria with a farewell party in Marlene's restaurant.
All students of the exchange program were there (the Spanish students, the Austrian students, their parents, the teachers...)
We dressed up nicely, the girls wearing dresses, shorts or smart trousers, and the boys jeans and shirts.
First we had dinner. It was a buffet that had everything: meat, vegetables, it was so delicious food. Also there were sweets, like cake and biscuits.
After dinner we took some photos and then the Spanish teachers gave a present to the Austrian teachers: a small olive tree that meant the beginning of a friendship that we hope continues growing and growing. Also, Austrian students handed milka chocolate and a bouquet of flowers on to the Spanish teachers. Then everyone thanked everyone for the effort that was made in the exchange program. It was a touching moment.
But there was something strange: Klemens wasn't there! When we came back to our tables, someone told us to put the chairs in a different way, because Klemens had brought his partner and they dance for us!!! They did it very well, we were astonished. They danced a twist, a salsa, but the best was the pasodoble, typical from Spain!
We were mood to party and went to our favourite café without the parents and teachers.
It was a wonderful evening, but there was also this sad thing: the following day we had to leave Austria.
