This time we had to say "Goodby" to Darla. We had some cake and cookies by the river and thanked her and her family for their help with the activities, hosting Ruben and with all their support to the summer programs along these last years. Justin and Jara and their grandparents came along to this gathering. Ruben was asked by the other students to make a speech. Although he blushed and hid a little behind his sunglasses, he was able to express his gratitude.
Around 1:30 we went tubing. Of course we couldn't take the camaras with us, that's why the only pictures of the river we can offer you are these two before heading to the "River Riders".
We were waiting for the boys, Darla and Carolynn to join us. From left to right: M. Angeles, Clara, Sandra, Jessie, Tina and Laura
. Only the girls.

I am Rosa, Ruben´s mother. I also want to thank American families for their hospitality. I hope everyone has learned a lot and I would like to see them in Madrid.
Regards
Now that our children are back in Spain I'd like to thank Mª Angeles and the American families for the great opportunities they've offered them, for the warm welcome, for the wonderful stay and for the precious memories they've brought home, which couldn't be packed in their cases or stuck in a scrapbook.
(Unfortunately, the real cases are still in Washington !!!)
Have a happy relaxing holiday!
Blanca (Laura's mother)
