This summer is one of changes and saying farewells... and of course, the semester had to wind down... so I thought I'd include a few 'shots' of these special encounters-- above is when a group of us went to see the play "Carmen" in the luxurious building where the story of this woman who rolled cigars actually originated-- the "Rectorado" (where we have our English Club)-- which used to be a celebrated
tobacco factory. Then French author Prospero Merimeé wrote about Carmen.
.... above is one of our last Bible discussion groups (called "Charlemos") meeting in a sandwich shop (around the table-- Sierra, Leti, Carlos, Hendri, Maggie & yours truly) ...
...a very tearful airport good-bye for Sierra, in the middle, from Oregon (left -to- rt.: Rosie from Australia; Elizabeth from North Carolina who soon after headed out, but had actually stayed 3 weeks longer to serve with Connexxion!; Inma, who will visit me soon in Germany; and Lea, who is returning to Potsdam to study)
...a barbecue and farewell party in my apartment with a couple dozen students...
...a garden snacktime with Inma's uncle & aunt, letting us visit them at their beach home
...at the Chiclana Beach, for a day trip with friends (Loida, Inma, Sierra, Maggie, Hendrik, Jake)
