MY LAST SUMMER

Hi I'm Cristina Ros, and I'm going to explain, my last summer.

I stayed with my father in the first half of July and the first half of August.

In this half of July, I stayed in Sant Gregori (Girona). I was helping my father with his work, I played with my little brothers, Sandra and Josep and did a lot sport with my sister Paula. And some weekends we went to Llançà with my cousins.

When arrived the day to go with my mother, Paula and I prepared all the bags.

In the second half of July we stayed with my mother in Sant Antoni de Calonge.

These days we went to the beach, we went by little boat in Palamós...

This half of July went very fast for me.

The first half of August, we stayed with my father in Llançà. It was fantastic because every morning at eight o'clock, Paula, my cousin Maria and I, went running to Grifeu and after that we went back in Llançà. And every night after dinner we went for a walk.

One day my two cousins, my sister, four friends and I went to the concert of Txarango.

This concert was made to collaborate with the fire in Alt Empordà.

In the second half of August Paula and I went with my mother and we were in Sant Antoni de Calonge. And every morning Paula and I went to running or to the GYM.

The last weekend before going to school with my father, his girlfried and my brothers, we went to Port Aventura park. It was fantastic!.

And finally the last day before going to school with my sisters, Paula and Sandra, the girlfriend of my father and I, went to protest for the freedom for Catalunya, in Girona.
