Ay, week 2 went by SO fast!
As you can imagine, it is so important that we see as much as week can in the time we are here in Spain. Especially for the students staying 2 weeks. We work hard to have a balanced program filled with activities and excursions but also keeping time for some independent exploration.
This week we saw rain unlike our first week, but it did not stop us, we continued on. Excursions along Zumaia, Hondarribia,Biarritz and St Jean de Luz (month students) kept us moving through Spain and France and engaged in the culture. While daily language classes, flamenco/baile classes and Basque cooking lessons kept us learning about the Spanish language and culture.
At the end of the week we said goodbye to our Summer 1 students but had the opportunity to also welcome a new set of students for our Summer 2 and Month 2 sessions. Adios y Bienvenidos!
