Last Post from Spain

Ola!

Well we had a late night last night so I didn´t update yesterday. We had a great time on Wednesday, meeting one more school until about 2:00pm. Then we started our tourist-mode! We did some shopping yesterday in the old part of San Sebastian, and of course, ate ice cream! Spaniards eat A LOT of ice cream! Today is Father´s Day in Spain so most stores and restaurants are closed. So what do we do? We go to FRANCE! A quick bus trip and boat ride later, we are enjoying the sandy beaches of Southern France. We had an AMAZING 2+ hour lunch outside where we tasted pizzas, crepes, creme brulee and many other great foods! When we arrived back "home" to Spain, the streets were PACKED with families enjoying the day off and the beautiful weather. We are packing right now before we head out for one more dinner in San Sebastian. Then the taxis pick us up at 7:00 am for our long journey back home!

Your students have amazed us all week. They have represented their families, their school, their country, and their faith so, so , so well. The workers here are so enthusiastic about what we were able to accomplish this week in opening doors for them to follow up on. They truly have been such a blessing!

Please keep us in mind as we make all of our transfers. We are slightly concerned about our connection in Madrid. We only have 2 hours to get off the plane, get our luggage, take a bus to a new terminal, recheck our bags, and go through security and customs. Things should be fine, and as even if we are running late they will hold the flight for a group of our size- in fact, they did that exact thing for another group on our Newark to Madrid flight! We will be exhausted, but so happy to see all of you at DFW!

Until then!
