After a four hour ride from Madrid to Leon (plus an hour stop at a local convenience store and restaurant along the way), we made it safely to our new home for the next six weeks! The host families were extremely eager to meet the students!

Today was the first day in the classroom at the student-instructor orientation. We went over some of the rules and expectations from the program. Additionally, the students had the opportunity to ask questions about the program. We look forward to starting classes on Friday!

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.

He has visited Leon four times to see his host family, since they have been in touch after 7 years! Oliver gave a talk to our students and shared his experience. Students asked him plenty of questions!
