First flight

From the other director...
We saw the best of Madrid and it's various historic and art traditions. Our guides, Emily and Maria were  the BEST! they kept us on track and were full of information and love of the work they do with groups such as ours. Thanks Emily and Maria!

Last night's Cabalgata de Reyes parade was so much fun. I was at the back of the band, high-fiving the kids/crowd and trying to pick up candy on the street which was out-of-reach for the kids behind the barriers....I was forewarned about the "workout" and I'm feeling it now....our kids were energetic and crowd-friendly, giving highs-fives at those stops, and slowups in the parade. Spectators LOVED it! Playing Mi Burrito Sabanera from memory looked and sounded solid which made it fun and easier to do all of the motions and to march better. 

Our day started out with two flights scheduled to leave Madrid....sadly, only our direct flight had a chance for success. We hear that the 77 others are making the best of it on their extended stay. Enjoy the warmth while you can! :)

Thanks everyone for the support of the trip and we send our appreciation to all of the adults and chaperones along on the trip who lead groups on excursions, gave wake up calls, dispensed information, assisted in keeping kids healthy, and helped to assure prompt attendance at the bus call times....as well as taping the boxes for shipping and making sure the plumes dried, and flags and the banner were ready for the return trip! We think they had a good time too! Mr Nightlinger too!
