Segovia and Madrid

Last Saturday, July 20, the Instructors and students left León at 6:30 am, after some minutes of saying good bye to their host families. After a three-hour ride, wemade it to Segovia, where we visited the Acueducto, the Plaza Mayor, and the downtown area, with a wonderful local guide who explained the local history. Later, that day, we took the bus and made it safely to Madrid, where we spent Sunda, July 21, doing a walking tour of the city, and visiting its most important museums, Museo Nacional del Prado, and Centro de Arte Reina Sofía. 
These are a few pictures taken during our first meal at Leon, at the local restaurant where we eat daily, called Casablanca. The students have been enjoying delicious traditional Spanish cuisine. ¡ Buen provecho!

Sociedad Protectora de Animales

On Wednesday, July 10, the students and instructors made a trip to León’s Humane Society, and everyone took a dog to pet and walk him around for about approximately an hour. The students, with the support of the host families and insctructors, had a magnific time. We were happy to continue with our annual service to the community in Leon! Until next year!
