Oh my god was it a great day. So we woke up
today and we went on a beautiful walking tour and we saw the amazing city of
San Sebastián and learned about the unique Basque culture. Our tour guide was
really cool and we learned some words in the very difficult to learn basque
language. Apparently it takes 12 years to be fluent in the language. That's a
hard language to learn! We all also learned what some respected customs are in
the Basque Country and realized how to not wreak of being a tourist. Tomorrow
we are going to perhaps the most interesting place on our trip: Plum Village
for seven days of something the kids are calling "mindfulness." No
one really knows what to expect even though Cheryl has tried to explain it to
us. After that we went to the beach and dug a huge hole. It showed what people
as a team can do. After we left, there were kids playing in the hole; it was
pretty cool. After that we went to the town and I ate squid! It was pretty
good, really worth the long flight.
It makes me happy that in every blog you say that you had a great day. Arch Academy scores again and gets another amazing tour guide... yay! I know that Plum Village will be a great experience for you, and I hope you make the most of it. Good job at planning this trip, and I can't wait for you to come home and tell us about your adventures. Oh, and aren't the Zombies not supposed to go in the hole? -Faith

ReplyDeleteI may be wrong as usual but I believe to test a teams teamwork skills, you must give them all shovels and tell them to dig a hole in the beach. If they simply cannot do this together, then it is true to say that they are not team. I hope you enjoy the rest of your trip.
