We made it!

Hi all, we are happy and healthy in Oviedo!

Just a brief note here to share a few pictures — once we get a few days into the program I'll write more about what we're up to, but we have a handful of photos of our arrival that I'm sure you'll be eager to see! (FYI, the pictures might show up kind of small on this blog, but I think if you click the photo it should give you a larger view and you can scroll through them.)



On the bus, heading to Oviedo. The bus ride was ~6 hours and we stopped about halfway way for some food. Most of us slept on the bus!


After hours and hours of travel, we arrived in Oviedo. Here we are waiting to meet our host families!

A few pictures from our day in Madrid -- admittedly, I didn't get as many pictures here as I'd hoped to. My apologies! I'm sure your students have a bunch though. Be sure to scroll through this blog and see the other posts I've made this morning (final day at Padre Ossó, farewell show, Segovia), and I'll do my best to upload the video of the farewell show in the coming days. Last thing, on behalf of the 4 instructors...THANK YOU SO MUCH for allowing us to spend a summer with these students! We love them all very much and are so grateful to have had this chance to get to know them. They are all so smart and fun, we will miss them!

Starting week 3...time is flying by!

Wow! We are approaching the halfway point of our trip...it is hard to believe! Yesterday in our student support and success groups we discussed how the trip is unfolding now that we´ve been here for a little while. Each student has their own personal experience, of course, but in general the consensus seems to be that we have now entered a new phase. At first everything was very new and we struggle a lot with the language barrier, but we have settled into a routine (more or less) and the language barrier seems less and less of a challenge. We discussed some strategies for making the most of our remaining time here, and I expect that our students will continue to thrive. Our excursion last Friday was so much fun...and we saw so much! We started at the Museo Jurásico (dinosaurs in Asturias!), then visited Covadonga (when you hear from your students, ask them about the historical importance of this site - they have learned about it and should have something interesting to say!), took a
