A field trip to remember
As the memories of our airport experience on the way home are fading, I am smiling at the memories of our visit to Spain. What an incredible visit to an incredible country. We learned more than I can begin to tell. How perfectly our trip fit in with our study this year of the middle ages. What a field trip! Here are a few things I learned on our trip:
God is big... Really BIG
We have been given an incredible creation!
People everywhere regardless of nationality want to be loved.
Friendship is one of the greatest gifts God gives.
It is great to have people you can count on. (Thank you Victor and Jennifer for picking us up and transporting us and to Nicolas and Lucia for being at the airport when we arrived in Spain - just on the other side of customs)
Here are a few of my favorite memories:
Experiencing "church" in the mountains of Asturias, Spain with our friends and companions on this trip.
Visiting a 9th century cathedral and seeing the dedication to the Trinity.
Sitting on the beach, as time stood still, watching 9 children and 3 adults have the time of their life - catching crabs, shrimp and playing in the waves and sand.
Hiking to the top of a very high mountain in Asturias to a natural lake with a breathtaking view.
Hiking to the top of another high mountain in another part of Asturias looking out over the world (another incredible view). Experiencing a party on top of the mountain including sack races and an incredible picnic!
Every evening returning to our incredible getaway in the mountains of Asturias with a chill in the air and the moon peaking out just above the mountains.
