Day 21: Alatri. We stayed in Alatri and we did activities with our teams. Each country had to do a stand with their typical objects or food. Also some artist of the valley visited us and showed us their art.
Day 22: Last day. This day we did activities with teams too. But we had free time in the afternoon and some of us went to Frosinone to shopping. At night we had a small party in the high school and we had fun all together. Personal opinion: We really liked to know the Italian culture and to learn some things about the language. It was an amazing experience to share experiences with people from other countries and improve our English speaking with them everyday. The visits were really interesting and learn about the art directly is an experience that we will never forget.
