So I've been pretty excited for Luke's virgin plane trip to come to Spain and learn about places other than Tama, Iowa ;) and I thought I was gonna hyperventilate from overall lack of exercise in the past month on my rush to the metro station. I ran excitedly into the terminal to fiiiiiind... No Luke. Turns out his flight into Spain was delayed which made him miss his flight to Valencia. What are you gonna do. I wish I would've paid someone to videotape his attempted conversations when purchasing a new plane ticket, though. In fact I might document this whole trip as I force the poor boy to learn Spanish in a "full immersion" type setting.
So this morning, besides giving my calves the best workout they've seen since we ran to the Ames Dunkin' Donuts the morning it opened, I got to work some more with the kids in the elementary school. I did a lesson and game about the USA and some stereotypes of what things or activities people do in each state. Since the only states they know are "California" and "New York" they guessed those two almost exclusively and were horrified to find that "Disneyland, Paris" is not in fact where Mickey and Minnie originate. It was a pretty fun time overall and I'm so glad I've gotten to work with the schools during my stay in Valencia!
Today it's approximately 27387 degrees outside so I'm hoping there will be plenty of time this afternoon to head to the beach. In the meantime, gonna go grab a coffee and wait for my little American buddy to arrive!
