Hello all! This was our last full week in Oviedo. We had a full week of classes and preparation for the final program. The students were busy with projects and practicing songs from Grease - in Spanish! We are working on a way to video tape it. The students designed a t-shirt which is in production in the US. They also put together a newspaper. The host families will receive a copy the night of the show. The students will receive their copy in the mail. Tomorrow, we have the canoe trip down the Rio Sella. Almost all the students are going on this trip!

Monday we have a normal day of classes. Tuesday the students take a test to see how they have improved over the summer. Wednesday is their final round of interviews in which they receive feedback from the instructors and that night, the final program for the host families. Thursday we have a day off to pack (and shop, I'm sure!).

I almost forgot - Sunday was the final game of the Copa Mundial! Wow - what a scene that was! Students watched the game with their host families and with each other. Many were dressed in red and yellow and others followed the Spanish tradition of jumping in the fountain! Most learned a few new songs to sing the next time Spain plays in some type of tournament!
