Great First Full Week

Taking advantage of the great weather we have been having here in Cadiz, yesterday the group traveled to a small village outside the city to go Sea Kayaking through a waterway in a national park. Unfortunately, we had to store our belongings before departing and were in a hurry to catch the bus after returning to shore, so we don't have any pictures of this event :(

It was very exciting, though, as the students paired off and listened to our guide, Eduardo (a different Edu from the one with us daily) explain how to paddle the boats. After that, we headed off in a big group. It didn't take the students long to realize that their paddles also doubled as splashing devises, and a water battle quickly broke out. Once we left the bay area and headed more into the Natural Park we rowed a bit more relaxed and took in our scenery.

Illana and Kayla accidentally ran their boat aground on a sand bar, but managed to push off it without any trouble. Also, there were tiny fish jumping all around us, and one managed to land in mine and Encarni's boat. Unfortunately, the fish found its way under Encarni's seat and flopped around until Ben could row over and help; I was laughing too hard to assist!

We've been enjoying other activities this week as well, such as visits to the beach, soccer games, shopping, visits to museums and cafes, etc. I'll post more photos this weekend after I have a chance to gather them from the students.

HASTA PRONTO!
