Spanish teacher, Jami Whitmer, is one of the two chaperones for the group traveling to Basque Country. She wrote the following note to parents at the end of day one:
We traveled from Boise to Phoenix to Charlotte to Madrid. We left Charlotte almost an hour late due to rain, but the flight was uneventful (besides a student getting a bit stuck in the plane lavatory). We were met upon arrival in Madrid by a tour guide who took us on a bus tour of the city. We stopped at a couple of sights to take pictures and admire the beautiful views. Later, we checked in to the hotel, had a bite to eat, and headed out on foot.
We explored a bit of the city, walking around a large cathedral, the Plaza Mayor, and the Palacio Real. We continued on to a beautiful park; at this point the kids were clearly fading so we decided to make our way back to the hotel. We are all pretty tired, having been up for 30 hours or so. Everyone is currently resting for a bit. We will wake them up to have some sweets in honor of Jenny’s birthday in a couple of hours, and then let them rest up some more.
Tomorrow is museum day – we will go to the Prado in the morning and hopefully the Reina Sofia in the afternoon/evening.
Stay tuned for more adventures!
