<br />
One more week left behind : ( sniff, sniff )<br />
<br />
Last week was full of adventure,culture and soccer. The week started with a class
of valenciano. Our guest went to the school and taught the kids some useful
words in this beautiful language. We even learned a song in valenciano.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

day for sports on Wednesday. It was the last day for soccer, volleyball and
other relaxing activities.<br />
<br />
On Thursday, we finished our Spanish Film Series at school. We screened the
Oscar winner film "Mar Adentro" .</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

and.... and ....... Friday came with a great excursion to Barcelona. It
was a total success!!!We left Valencia around 7am.We visited the famous Sagrada
Familia first. Some kids had the chance to see the interior and some others
decided to go shopping around the place. It was so beautiful and
nice! We had lunch in a famous park called Parc Guell. This was
designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. We also walked along Paseo de
Gracia and saw Gaudi´s Casa Mila and Casa Batllo facades. At the end
of the visit they had free time to explore Las Ramblas, the Gothic Quarter, the
market and the Port. We also had optional activities for students interested in
visiting the famous soccer field Camp Nou, Montjuic, and Casa Mila inside. It was
simply fantastic! We returned to Valencia on Saturday July 13<sup>th</sup>
around 9pm. They all told me they will convince you to go to Barcelona to enjoy
this beautiful city as family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 7.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Our
most important event last week, as it should be, was Independence Day on
Thursday. We played the national anthem (instrumental) before starting classes,
we ate hamburguers and hot dogs for lunch in the cafeteria and we celebrated it
with games and splashes on the Mediterranean sea
(see picture uploaded). </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 7.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Last Tuesday, we saw some Picasso´s mitological
drawings in a cultural center.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
exhibition was very interesting for most of our kids who like this famous spanish
painter.</span></div>

park. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 10.6pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="background: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 7.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">We picked Friday for the spanish movie in the
school. This time was a thriller that made our kids scream, bite their nails
and hide under the tables. You could watch the film by yourselves out there (it
is not a horror movie).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The movie is
called “El Orfanato” (kind of similar to “the Others”) but pick the original
(spanish) version<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>since there was an
american remake. The movie is available in Netflix. Be sure you watch it with
someone else otherwise you will have to sleep under the bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

We had the chance to see lots of animals that are not in the Indianapolis
nor Chicago
zoo. If you are wondering if we really went to the other continent the answer
is no. But we felt like in Africa in a zoo that
is called Bioparc. There were magnificent open spaces, high temperature, african
landscape and almost all the animals we could see in the Lion King and Ice Age
films.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Fallero where they could see the most famous ninots from Fallas (one of the
most important celebrations in Valencia
that takes place in March). And finally, on Sunday a group of students attended
a play in one of the fanciest theatres in Valencia. What a busy week! This year we have broken the record for more optional activities for a Valencia group! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">July first, time flies, huh? Three exciting
weeks in Valencia left behind and three more to come. Besides our spanish
classes in the mornings and the artistic activities in the afternoons we had
fascinating optional activities that your kids enjoyed during this past week.
We visited the Museo de Bellas Artes
where students saw paintings from Goya,
El Greco, Velazquez, Sorolla, Ribera and
March among some. We also went to Valencia International Film Festival where we
watched the renowned spanish movie “Blancanieves”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 35.4pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Last Tuesday was time for ties, beautiful dresses and
elegant suits. Reason: Visit to Valencia City Hall. A representative from the
local government received the group in the main room where politicians
debate different laws for Valencianos.
Valencia Council Member Emilio del Toro’s
speech about Indiana University Honors
Program highlighted the high level of spanish of our students and
stated it was an honor to have the best students from Indiana in Valencia. This event was so
relevant that we made the news!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Dance Day on Friday. So you should demand your kids to teach you all the latin
and spanish dances they learned with us and dance those with the whole family
in the living room. I will suggest to dance with them Asereje, Waka-waka and different group songs . After
those dances you will probably have to change the floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"> On Saturday we went to Ciudad de
las Artes y Ciencias where we felt like in a different planet with all those
futuristic buildings. We visited the largest aquarium in Europe where we saw a dolphin show
and plenty of sea animals. Some of the kids also visited the Museum of Science and got an idea to invent a
machine where they could transport people from Indiana to Valencia in few
seconds. Let's see if at the end they can build it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">Wednesday was time for recreation! Students played soccer, volleyball, ran, and walked. They like this day because they can enjoy the beauty and shiny colors of Valencia parks. On Thursday, students climbed the "MIguelete" (bell tower) where they could see Old Valencia and other important places in the city. And after this, ICE-CREAM and CHURROS!!!!!!!!!!!</span><br />

It was a pearl! We climbed a mountain to reach a castle (actually we took a small train). The kids explored places such as the guard points, the gardens, water deposits and dungeons. They also had free time to explore the city and eat local food.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Dear families in USA,</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">I am glad to let you know that our first week in Valencia has been great!. The kids have spent it with their host families talking about Valencia, eating spanish food during dinner and enjoying the weather. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Day one was for the orientacion with students and host families where we went over the program rules again. They also had their first day in the restaurant where they had their first contact with spanish food. During the first week they ate squid, paella valenciana with rabbit, valenciana salad, two kinds of fish from the region and a special dessert called natilla. They have also eaten tortilla española </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">( scrambled eggs with potatoes and rice) at home and </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">other yummy spanish food!. We visited Old Valencia</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> last Friday and they learned about Valencia important historic sites such as Serranos Towers (main entrance to Valencia during XIV century), The Cathedral (where the Holy Grail is kept), the Virgin Square (famous for its Neptune fountain), The Queen Square (where they can try churros, tapas and ice creams with interesting spanish food flavors) and La Lonja (Unesco Site). The tour ended in a traditional market where your kids could see the different fruits, seafood and meat valencianos often buy. Our first optional activity also took place last Saturday and this was a visit to L'Almoina (Roman Ruins under Valencia). They really liked the tour around this site. But not everything has been been visiting historical places. Guess what? They have already gone to the beach to enjoy the Mediterranean sea and its sun ( with sunblock and many </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"> big bottles of water!).</span><br />

They told me to let you know that they miss you a lot and thank you for the opportunity you have given them to enjoy Valencia and have memorable moments at a so young age!!!!!!!!!!</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #990000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />

<br />
We had two very long days in planes and in a bus until we reached our final destination: Valencia. We had a delay in Madrid with the bus but everything was solved without any inconvenient. We arrived in Valencia at 330pm and the kids were happy to meet their families. The host families were very excited waiting for them outside school and they are looking forward to having a special spanish dinner for the first time with them tonight.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow we will meet at school to go over the honor code with both students and families. The unforgettable experience has started!<br />
<br />
