10 THINGS KATE MIDDLETON CAN´T DO AFTER SHE MARRIES....

Hey guys!

How are you doing? It's been some time since I was at your school for the last time but I wanted to share something I read last week with you all. I am sure you have heard about the royal wedding that took place in London a couple of weeks ago. When I was reading the news about the event I suddenly found a really interesting article that called my attention greatly! Let me give you a summary of it:

The title of the article was: 10 Things Kate Middleton Can't Do After She Marries Prince William. Although ten things are listed, I have selected the funniest ones for you here:

1. Be referred to as 'Kate'. When Kate Middleton joins the House of Windsor this year, her official title will become ‘Her Royal Highness the Princess William of Wales’.
2. Play monopoly. In 2008, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, said that the Royal Family was not allowed to play Monopoly at home "because it gets too vicious". No member of the family has yet revealed what they play in its place during the Christmas holidays.
3. Eat shellfish. British Royals are apparently never served shellfish, because of a fear of food poisoning. So if Kate can't live without crustaceans, she will have to seek them out in her own time.
4. Work. Although she has a History of Art degree and years of life experience, Kate has spurned work wherever possible.
5. Finish her dinner. If she is a slower eater than her grandmother-in-law (Queen Elizabeth II), Kate could go hungry. In Britain, when the Queen stops eating, you stop as well, fork in hand.

Now that you have read it, it would be nice to hear your opinions so I encourage you to go and comment about it!!

Do you think that marrying a prince/princess has more advantages than disadvantages?

Will they be together forever? or... will she get tired of all these things?

My personal opinion is that she should love him so much to have refused her anonymous life and, although she can't play monopoly now, who needs monopoly fake money when you can have actual money instead?

Dear all,
It was nice to see our school plenty of Americans friends. They were really friendly people. We missed them but we are aware that they were leaving Spain with a piece of their hearts in Salamanca.

I want to share with you an email that Richard, one of the great guys who took part in this exchange, sent me. I hope you enjoy it and please, answer him. Take care and thank you Richard for your amazing picture and your nice words:

" I wanted to say thank you all for this wonderful experience, It was Amazing! I really see myself coming back in the future because Spain is such a beautiful country. Your hospitality was beyond amazing & my host family was so wonderful, tell Maria Morin's Mom & Dad I said hi & I miss them very much. That is why this experience is so wonderful because you find friends that you can bond with around the world but most importantly a family that you can can call your own. I am so warm inside because of your welcoming arms and the way the family treated me like if I was one of there own. Thank you so much for everything, to express my gratitude I created this Graphic Design to say thank you to everyone and I hope you post this on your blog because I tried but I can't :) I'm really excited for you all to come in April and show you all the best of what New York City has to offer :) See You Soon :) Richard".
