I went to AL last week to visit 6 schools and a YWCA program with an hour program on Spain (the country of focus for the Birmingham International Center who hired me). We learned Spanish words through traditional stories from Spain and beginners' flamenco dance. The kids were wonderful and despite some financial and minor health difficulties, I enjoyed the experience immensely.
The highlight for me was to get away with wearing clothes with ruffles and flinging them around like the Spaniard I have always secretly seen in myself. The kids bought it, even though I admitted to them I'm a Carolina gal by birth. Worldwide, baby, worldwide!
I will attempt to post a sound and/or video clip of one of my visits asap.
Stick with me....
