What have you learned from your trip to Ouro Preto?

What have you learned from your trip to Ouro Preto?
We, students from aquidiocesano have traveled with our class to Ouro Preto. There, we saw and visited many historical places and learned a lot of things, some things that we’re going to keep for our whole life!
The learning wasn’t just about school things, but was about the friends and some unforgettable events. We got to know each other better and had lots of fun in those four days.
Before we got there, we had lunch and then we visited “mina da passagem”, a gold mine from the XVIII century. We discovered that the temperature in there is hotter than in the surface and the light is just artificial. There’s a lot of humidity because of the underground river. There isn’t any kind of life in the mine because of the absence of sun, just some fungus and bacteria.
We visited to a lot of churches and knew their arts, in mostly, barroco-rococó and the history of them. The churches that we visited are; Igreja São Francisco de Assis, Igreja Nossa Senhora do Pillar and Igreja de Santa Efigênia.
About the streets and the landscape, we can say that they’re very rugged. Because of that bus couldn’t take us  everywhere that we needed to go, so we walked a lot around the city, and when we’re moving from a place to another, we could see that the houses and all the constructions are just like they were in the XVIII century because Ouro Preto has been an important historic place in Brazil.
Now forgetting about school things, the trip was very fun! We met new people and we’ve gotten to know each other better every day.
