At school this week, my principal and I decided to teach the kids about farm animals by teaching them Old McDonald. We put together some photos of animals and their noises and had the kids pick which animal the sound belonged too. Then we taught them the song with little hand motions. I don't know if they will remember the animal names in English but they definitely had fun learning the song! Also, at the school, one of the workers has a puppy who needs a home! Needless to say, it took all my strength to not ship her home to Greensboro, but I did take a few photos of this precious precious little puppy.
My host family has really good friends who live right on the border of Spain and Portugal, and their son had a birthday! Saturday we drove to Tui, a town at the edge of Spain, and then we crossed the border into Portugal. The city we went to was inside a fortress and it was full of small streets with little shops. Apparently shopping in Portugal is the best because the quality is great and it is cheaper than in Spain. We went to a little cafe where we could look out onto the Spanish frontier which was so amazing. After that, we went to the birthday party where the girls got their faces painted and played on the huge blow up castle. They really know how to throw birthday parties in Spain!
Sunday was a pretty relaxed day. We were at the beach again and so we took the girls on a stroll around the town in the morning and had lunch with the birthday boy and his family. Lunch included empanadas, croquettas, wine, tarta de queso, and other types of delicious Spanish cuisine. :) Just another weekend of my life in Espana !
