Our RCS in Spain 2019 adventure is complete, and everyone is home safe and sound! It was an amazing time of fun and learning. I believe it is an experience that the students will never forget, and one that will be able to draw upon in their future studies, both in Spanish and in other fields. Thank you again to everyone who contributed to the planning, fundraising, and supporting of this trip!
Our last morning in Sevilla, the students decided that the wanted to add an additional walking tour to our itinerary: the Seville Expo of ’92. Once a gleaming vision for the future, it is now a dilapidated relic of the past.This biosphere was once at the center of the country pavilions at the Seville Expo.This monument next to the Spain Pavilion honored all of the more than 200 countries (and 42 million people) that attended the Expo.After our Expo visit, we had a kayaking expedition.We traveled about a kilometer up the Guadalquivir River, where Columbus once sailed.We had one minor problem with a leaking kayak.Everyone made it back to shore, only slightly damper than at the beginning.We also celebrated Katie’s 17th birthday with a cream cake!After taking the high-speed AVE train back to Madrid, we said good-bye over a lovely dinner, and got as much sleep as we could before our 2:30 am wake-up call for our flight back to the U.S.A.
Thank you to everyone who followed this year’s edition of RCS in Spain! Adios y hasta luego!
