What are Alan and Steven doing in Spain?

What are Alan and Steven doing in Spain?

We are teaching for the CIEE program, which stands for Council on International Educational Exchange. We lived in Sevilla, Spain for a month and took an immersion course that improved our knowledge of the Spanish language and culture. We lived with a host Señora which provided us 3 meals a day and laundry service. Following our stay in Sevilla, we moved together to a small town called Lucena where we will begin teaching English. The teaching assignment will begin approximately October 1st and conclude May 31, 2011.

We are placed at two different schools in Cabra, Spain in which the children range from the ages of 12-18. As Language and Culture Assistants, we provide the teacher and students with a native English accent along with providing first hand examples and experiences about the American culture.

Please read our posts to keep up with all of the unique experiences.

My Life Be Like

After a well-needed resting period during the past couple of weeks, we are gearing up for the weekend. The last 2 weeks have included teaching and chilling. We're glad to have time around our small towns because we still have plenty to learn about the history, culture, what to do, who to know, etc.

Katie and Emily are coming into town on Sunday so we're very excited to see them. They are flying into Madrid on Sunday morning. We're all traveling to Barcelona the following weekend, so it should be a wonderful trip.

I finally got my camera back from the repair shop in Sevilla. All of our pictures recently have been taken from still-shots from Alan's video camera, so it'll be nice to have a camera again for the trip to Barcelona.

I've been working on a video from my trip a couple weeks ago to Nerja and Torre del Mar.  They are 2 small towns on the beach, and each has its own essence. I feel like this video puts our trip in perspective - check it out.
