¡Bienvenidos!

Two more days and I'll be writing to you all from my bedroom in the mushroom colored apartment building of the De Frutos Álvarez family above the cobblestone streets of Segovia, Spain. The blog will recount in detail the adventures of five Elmira College students, our Spanish professor Dr. Lauren Shaw, and her son Wondo. The six-credit course, Culture and Civilization of Spain, will take place both in and out of the classroom, as each student stays independently with a host family and attends daily classes for three weeks in Segovia. We begin our journey this Saturday, May 1, when we take off the asphalt runway at JFK and head for Madrid. I will be taking and posting many pictures, so be sure to check the site frequently and hear all about the escapades of Elmira College in Segovia 2010. ¡Hasta luego!
