Finally we have arrived in Santander! The kids are doing great - they are already trying really hard to speak nothing but Spanish and I can tell that they're learning a ton.
They were so cute meeting their families last night! Everyone arrived on time to class this morning and things seem to be going well.
They all took a placement test this morning to place them in one of two class levels for the grammar and conversation classes, and will be together as one big group for the culture class.They really enjoyed the architecture and food of Madrid, Segovia, Burgos and Bilbao - these cities are all so wonderfully different!
Yesterday was the Corpus Christi holiday (which occurs 60 days after Easter each year) - we caught a great procession near the magnificent gothic cathedral in Burgos!
A few students were also able to experience mass in Spanish, and reported that they were able to follow along, more or less!
We have all been taking lots of pictures (teachers and students alike!) - I will upload more as our adventure unfolds.
¡Hasta la próxima!
