Hi Everyone. Wanted to catch you all up to speed on our trip so far. The flight over was more or less uneventful. We were stuck on the tarmac waiting to take off for about an hour in Houston as the front edge of Tropical Storm Alex made its way into the area. Fortunately we were able to take off because we were told that the airport was closed down shortly after we left. We arrived in Madrid at around 10:30 this morning (Saturday the 3rd) and were greeted by Tim Wendel and Tim Westegren. We were then taken to the Global Ventures Community Center where we spent 30 minutes unpacking and sorting all 12 of our checked suitcases and dividing up all of the supplies that we brought to Tres Cantos. By the time we finished sorting, all of our host families had come to get us and take us home.
I spent the rest of the day with Javier, Ana, Adrian and Javier Jr. A wonderful family in Tres Cantos. The whole family is learning English and is doing a great job. We had a lot of fun getting to know each other. We also had a lot of fun watching the Spain vs. Paraguay world cup match. Spain won and the fireworks began to go off and continued for an hour, accompanied by horn blowing, shouts and cars honking. It was pretty exciting.
I haven't heard from anyone else on the team yet, but we will all meet up again tomorrow for Church then an afternoon of training for English Camp.
Camp starts Monday, and we can't wait. Pray that Jet lag is gone by then. Until next Time.
Dillon.
