Busy as bees, we are! Yesterday was a great day, filled with Andalusian-themed activities. We split the group into two smaller groups--Patos y Elefantes (Ducks and Elephants) -- so as to make some visits and activities more easily organized. While the Elephants tromped through the Cathedral, the Patos spent some time decorating abanicos (typical Spanish fans). Afterwards, everyone participated in a flamenco dance lesson.
In the evening, the students had free time, though most took our advice and headed over the Teatro Manuel de Falla for the free flamenco show, in which a woman sang from the theater balcony, which overlooked a square filled with flamenco enthusiasts.
Tonight we have another flamenco-related group activity, this time at the Castillo de Santa Catalina. We'll be watching the sun set as we listen to live flamenco at the castle.
The days are flying by, and everyone seems to be feeling more and more comfortable with their Spanish host families and also taking advantage of all of the other culinary, cultural, and musical opportunities that the city of Cadiz offers.
I've included some photos below of yesterday's activities. There is also a short video at the bottom of the flamenco performance from last night. The sound is terrible-ish, but I think the video gives a nice vision of what the night looked like. Enjoy!
