Friday, 2nd October 2015 – by Paula

This is the last day we are spending in Riga. I have woken up very early, to finish packaging my luggage, because we are leaving tomorrow, very early in the morning and I am not in my correspondent's house tonight. Once we arrived to school, they told us what we were going to do during the day. The plans were: visiting the Daugava museum (Daugava is the name of the river in Riga), going to a strange kind of thematic/typical restaurant and finishing with a talent show and a party at the school. The trip to the museum was a bit long and we spent all the journey sleeping. When we finally arrived to the museum, we saw a modern art exposition, whose artists were Latvian native, which were the first civilizations to live in Latvia and how people used to live there. They showed us a part of their complicated and interesting history. People there used to live in wooden houses and live from the fishing and hunting. They stopped using those methods, because they killed and injured other animals. Also we saw how they stored their food, and made them last all the winter. Something I loved was a giant see-saw which fitted like 8 people. The next stop was Lido, the restaurant. There we had free time and we bought some souvenirs. After free time we ate really good food. In my opinion it was the best meal I had in the project. We went by bus to school finally and we saw the talent show. It was amazing! They danced, sang, played instruments and did awesome things. The thing I liked the most was a teacher who began to sing and none of us knew she did like that. When the talent show finished we started with the party. It was one of the best things we could've ever had! We started partying at 4 o'clock in the noon and we finished at 9. Very soon for a party for us, because we are used to starting past midnight. Well we continued the party at Andrea's correspondent house. We ended very, very, very late! Hope I can repeat this experience with the same people again, I loved it!
