Second Meeting in Coimbra, Portugal

In January 2013, the small village of Almalaguês hosted the second meeting. The weather was rainy but with all the excitement due to the arrival of some 60 new people to this place the rain looked like sun shine. Then here they came. Some were blond and tall, other  short and black haired. They suited all tastes and wishes. Our pupils were fascinated even if the language was a barrier sometimes. But soon we discovered that the smile and the look in someone's eyes is the same everywhere on the world. And pupils started to gather. They gathered around tastes, clothes, music, food and both brief and eternal friendships were born. Even if some are FB friendships... We visited Almalaguês, Coimbra and the roman city of Conimbriga. Only the damn weather stopped us from going to Figueira da Foz, to the so called beach of Coimbra, some 40 km from here.  And some more ideas for the project were also born. We decided about thematics, schedules and some objectives.
More than one year ago has gone and those tall and blonde and short and black haired are still remembered in the little village of Almalaguês were some hearts were broken and some tears were also shared.

The international party of the meeting was a particularly successful event!
