Cuarto día
Hoy la señorita Mery nos ha llevado a visitar monumentos importantes de la ciudad y hemos tenido que ir preguntándole a la gente varias preguntas que previamente en clase habíamos diseñado y dividido por grupos.
La gente de mi grupo hemos ido a Calton Hill desde donde se encuentra la panorámica más asombrosa de la ciudad, es en este sitio donde está situado el Nelson Monument que es una torre conmemorativa en honor a Horatio Nelson, el monumento fue construido entre 1807 y 1815 para conmemorar la victoria de Nelson sobre las flotas francesas y españolas en la batalla de Trafalgar en 1805, y su propia muerte en la misma batalla. En 1853 se agregó una bola de tiempo, como una señal de tiempo para el envío en el puerto de Leith. El monumento fue restaurado en 2009.
Después nos hemos dirigido a la Catedral de Edimburgo desde donde se puede ver un corazón hecho con losas de granito. Se trata, tal y como hemos podido resolver el enigma, de el lugar donde estaba situada la antigua prisión de Edimburgo y hoy en día es costumbre escupir en el interior del corazón para que te de buena suerte, por lo que tal y como ha dicho una compañera italiana, no es buena idea pisar dentro ya que mucha gente que pasaba se resbalaba.
Tras encontrar estos dos sorprendentes lugares hemos llegado a la academia y hemos puesto en común cada uno de los grupos los descubrimientos de la ciudad, dando nuestra opinión y contando información que hemos podido encontrar.
Esto ha sido todo por el día de hoy, un saludo y hasta mañana.
Today Miss Mery has taken us to visit important monuments of the city and we had to go asking the people several questions that previously in class we had designed and divided into groups.
The people of my group have gone to Calton Hill from where is the most amazing panoramic of the city, it is in this place where is located the Nelson Monument that is a commemorative tower in honor of Horatio Nelson, the monument was built between 1807 and 1815 to commemorate Nelson's victory over the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, and his own death in the same battle. In 1853 a time ball was added, as a signal of time for shipment at the port of Leith. The monument was restored in 2009.
Then we went to the Cathedral of Edinburgh from where you can see a heart made of granite slabs. It is, as we have been able to solve the enigma, of the place where the old prison of Edinburgh was located and nowadays it is customary to spit inside the heart to give you good luck, for what it has said an Italian companion, it is not a good idea to step inside as many people passing by slipped.
After finding these two amazing places we have arrived at the academy and we have put in common each one of the groups the discoveries of the city, giving our opinion and counting information that we have been able to find.
This has been all for today, greetings and see you tomorrow.
