What an amazing end to our journey we had on Sunday evening. We dressed up, ate some tapas (chorizo, queso, ¡paella!) and then we had an opportunity to see an experienced flamenco dancer and listen to her lovely Spanish guitar players. We gave out the Middle School diplomas and had some tearful goodbyes! This was an unforgettable trip and I can't imagine spending it with any other 8 unique students. Haley, Giulia, John, Thobias, Jacob, Marco, André and Richard, it has been a pleasure teaching you and living with you in Salamanca this past month. I'll miss our time together. You are more than ready for your next school year and I hope to hear from you.

LA UNIVERSIDAD
On our final local tour of Salamanca, the students learned what it was like to be a student at the University of Salamanca hundreds of years ago. We first made our way through the Casa de Conchas and realized the symbol of the shell is for the famous pilgrimage to Santiago Compostela. (It was one of the few tools needed in the trip for spooning water and food).
The students were able to sit in some newer classrooms and we also saw old classrooms where subjects such as theology, grammar, and law were taught. Tonight is our final Fiesta Española where we will see authentic Flamenco dancing and guitar. I can't wait for the tapas dinner!
