Exams and AIP kickoff
ok... i guess it took me more than a week to write again but i have been doing lots and lots of things let's see where do i start... ok, the days after i made my last post i was studying a lot because of the upcoming exam of access to University that i had the 2nd and 3rd of june in the city of Lisbon in Portugal. Here you can see me just as i was coming out of the place where i was doing the exams.
anyway, i have the faith that i've passed them :P, though i'll get the results on the 21st, pray for it!
after that we went to the city of Badajoz and stayed there from the 3rd till the 6th for Ely's exams, pray that she passes them too... it's important.
right after those we went to Plasencia for a few days to pick as much cherries as we could before the 9th when we would leave for Madrid with my niece Elaine to pick a plane on the 11th for the AIP's kick off in Porto wich would last till the 13th when we would make our way back to Plasencia for more cherry picking :P
the AIP kick off held in Portugal was really great, there i got to see old friends and make some new ones that i hope to keep for a long time :) it was a really fun and uniting experience.
the first day when we arrived, we were picked up at the airport by some sweet FGA friends wich i hadn't seen some for months and others for years! can you believe it! the first place that they took us to was bowling, fun!!
here are some pictures of the event with al of us posing ;) (please, don't mind the poor quality)
by the time we finished it was already lunch time and the dear members of the home that hosted us provisioned a meal of tasty chicken with french fries and rice wih gave us the strength to endure the tiresome afternoon of soccer that ensued
after the tiring soccer game we all took showers had dinner and went to the beach for an inspiring evening singing songs around a bonfire we made :D sadly to say, i don't have any pictures of the event :(
next day we rose up at 9. no, it' not that we were lazy to start the day... it's just that we went to bed quite late the day before :P the morning started with some delicious croissants with butter and strawberry jam, and after that the morning kicked in first with JJT's and then with a beautiful inspiration led by the inspiring and fun Ready after wich followed some word time and reading about this years AIP and mainly encauraging the jetts to keep on the revolution and do more this year than all the previous ones!
when the wordtime was done, it was already time to prepare for our picnic outside in the woods! in wich we gobbled down the food and played soccer for the rest of the afternoon, a really bonding activity in wich young people of all ages and both genders participated with much enthusiasm.
when the night time arrived and after eating a nice dinner we setted out to watch a fun movie all together with snacks, we sure had a laugh watching the movie! i love Robin Williams :P
but it's amazing how fast the time passes and after such a nice evening, the next morning we came to the realization that it was over... :( we had to wake up at half past 6 to go to the airport and there were much tears and hugs saying goodbye to all the sweet people we had been with the past 2 days, and some of the most astute people, gathered e-mails of all the people there to keep tabs on them while at home.
all in all it was a memorable time we got to spend there, the ony thing we regret, as always, is that it didn't last longer :P but PTL! we can all now look forward to next gathering!
