Settling in

This week the students have been learning how to get around the city and have settled in quite nicely, I think! (bus passes with discounted fares help!)
We hiked up to the lighthouse yesterday. Even though the weather wasn't great, it was still a nice walk. This part of Spain is so green and lush - it could almost be Ireland.

Everyone is still making an effort to speak nothing but Spanish! It is fun to witness their language skills growing with each day. A student even commented to me yesterday that he's learned more here in the last few days than he did in full year of class at home! The power of immersion is truly inspiring.

We're headed to the Picos de Europa tomorrow - an Alpen-like mountain range a few hours from here! Prepare yourselves for some more pictures of beautiful Spanish landscapes! :-)
