 Off to Azores and away from school

On April 1st we went by bus to the airport, ready for a trip full of excitement to the Azores where we were going to get away from school and our problems. After several air trips and a bumpy landing, we were able to finally land on the island of São Miguel. Seen from above we can observe the different Volcanic calderas and a beautiful vegetation that covers the slopes. 

In the Azores we visited different tourist spots but what impressed me most in a positive way were the Furnas, where we can take hot baths in hot springs that have therapeutic properties. On one of the Furnas we went we had several places to bathe where the temperature varies between 29 and 39 degrees. But the Furnas were not the only places that left me dazzled, the beauty of nature in the Azores also impressed me, because it contains a type of vegetation that I had never seen before, different species of plants that do not exist in Continental Portugal. 

            To conclude, this was a trip that marked me and allowed me to forget about school.

Azores, the most beautiful island in the world!

      Azores is an amazing island that belongs to Portugal, but islocatedon the Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its green landscapes, its tropical climate and the famous natural baths, not forgetting the cows.

       When I think of this island, one of the landscapes that springs to mind is the Monumento da Caldeira Velha, a beautiful natural park whose view is engraved in my memory, especially the path we took until we reached the natural pools.This path was filled with vegetation all around, it was all green and conveyed a sense of well-being because we were so much in contact with nature.Personally, I loved that incredible view, full of tall trees, hills and the chirping of birds in the background, it was the perfect scenery.

Azores, the island where everything happens…

    I will start by saying that everything happened on the trip to the Azores, na island on the Atlantic ocean. The Azores are known for their green tone and the fantastic culture that we can find there. More specifically, in this descriptive text I will describe a moment, in a place where we felt many emotions, feelings and strenghthened our friendship!

    In this picture, as we can see, there are two predominant colors, green in the background and brown at the front, or rather, in the water. This place is called “Parque Terra Nostra” and is a great touristic point, where there is a large swimming pool or lagoon, where people can experience the high temperature of the water and the benefits it provides us.The brown lagoon at this place is surrounded by stone and further down are restrooms where we can change our clothes. There is vegetation all around. What captivated me the most about this picture and what it represents is our satisfaction and genuine happiness, and that was exactly why I chose it. It was fantastic and even if I can’t do it again with fantastic people, it was already worth it for the friendship we left there, for the adventure that we lived and for the memories we keep!

Memories from Azores

 In this photo we can see our class, 11A, in a natural pool of hot water heated by volcanoes where the water is in constant movement with little waterfalls. We are very happy and smiling, as you can see, because we were having a new and spectacular experience. This is a great pool where we can be together despite being twenty eight person at the same time.

We had a great time, we got to know our friends and teachers better, who are also our friends.

The water is dark due to the iron it contains. In the background we can see a lot of natural vegetation that gives us the feeling of being in the woods.

MULTICULTURALISM: A Tale of Tolerance

The video I'm sharing with you intends to motivate a class discussion on the topic of Multiculturalism. I hope you enjoy it.
School trip to the Azores São Miguel ( Poça da Dona Beija and Terra Nostra Park ) On the first day in the Azores we set off to discover different places on the island, but what I liked the most was the visit to the Furnas . When we arrived at the village of Furnas , we got off the bus and started walking through the village until we arrived at the Poça da Dona Beija . There we were able to relax after all the frustrating plane trips we had been through. The waters were warm and rich in minerals that are good for the skin. There was also a strong smell of iron in the air because of the quantity of the minerals in the water. After being at Poça da Dona Beija , we went to Terra Nostra Park , which has a giant lake with hot water. Before going to the thermal pool we had lunch. The food tasted really good . After resting for a while we went to the pool. This time the water was brown, but still very warm. After a long time we got back on the bus and continued our visit through the land...
