Crayloa Ludoteca

Well, the students should now be quite familiar with the sights and sounds of the streets of Cadiz.  Last night they participated in our annual Photographic Scavenger Hunt, searching the city of Cadiz for such things as couples holding hands, a Smart car, someone wearing green, yellow or red pants, the European Union flag, incorrect English spelling, and graffiti in English.  All the teams performed wonderfully and nearly all came back with perfect or near perfect scores. 

Today the students had their second day of classes, and all is progressing quite well.  Javier's class (advanced) visited the Crayola Ludoteca, a state and privately-funded daycare that helps to take care of the children of working parents in a low-income area of downtown Cadiz.  Our volunteers were incredibly appreciated, and had a great time, and all complained when we had to leave. 

In the weeks that come, all of our students will have the opportunity to visit Crayola and help out the very skilled and incredibly overworked staff there. 

This evening, we've got a free night and we've recommended that the students take advantage of the free offering of flamenco that the city offers tonight in the Plaza del Teatro de Falla. 

More to come soon as life moves along here in Cadiz.
