Today was our last day of class here in Madrid. Tomorrow we are off to Valencia for one more week. Several of our classmates were also leaving after today and one of the girls from China brought us treats. Our class had students from France, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, China, and England. In our culture class we also met people from Slovakia, Korea, Indonesia, Japan, and Germany. There were very few other Americans, which often meant that to communicate with our classmates during the breaks, we had to speak Spanish! We admired the electronic dictionaries that all the Chinese students had. They were not much bigger than in iPod and translated all permutations of English-Spanish-Chinese.
Before class we went back to the Plaza España one more time to take a photo of the statue of Don Quijote and Sancho Panchez. We learned about Cervantes and this book in our culture class so wanted to revisit this monument. We also bought some gifts to bring home.
