Saludos Desde Cádiz! These past few days have seemingly flown by for our group here in Andalucía. Since our update from this past weekend, our students have visited 3 more museums, climbed one of Cádiz´s tallest towers (La Torre Tavira) for epic views of the city, explored heights, and zip lined at Roche Park, and taken a Spanish cooking ...
We hit the ground running here in Florence! These first five days have been great! The group arrived early in the afternoon on Saturday at Peretola Aeroporto. That evening, we took a wonderful exploratory walk around the city center. We enjoyed the lovely scenery together and ended the night with tasty gelato. On the next day, in the morning, ...

It was one of the other professor's birthdays so we got to sing and celebrate a little bit. After the celebration the curriculum was pretty simple so the class went by ...
I went into this weekend knowing I had less than a week left in France ...and determined to make the most of it. Three weeks have gone by WAY too fast and I’m certainly not ready to leave. Lesson learned: more time to learn the language is always better. Saturday morning we left for Cannes by train and then walked from the train station ...
It is Friday and we are all so excited for the weekend... I went to class this morning and it seemed like an instant. We did a lot of drawing and I got to design my own dream vacation.

We began this week... ...of Abbey Road St-Laurent-du-Var 2019 with more French classes and time to explore more of Nice and St-Laurent.
