Day 26

Amazing!! The Spanish Day was succesful!!!

Finally 17 people joined in the lunch. I think the food was incredibly good (I'm sticking to my guns about this), and we had enough for everybody and even to give a little to the school's staff.

In the afternoon's break time we organized a running of bulls. Most of the school students came near to the kitchen, and then we gave them newspapers or papers to roll it. I explained them how to act in the running of bulls, and after to sing to "San Fermin", the bulls appeared. Unfortunately, I think that people didn't understand me, because most of them stayed, quiet, in the hallway, when it's supposed they had to run before and beside the bulls. Anyway, people laughed a lot, and this is what we wanted.

After that, we went to the hall, for a little demostration of bullfighting (a lot of people was shocked when I told then that the bull dies), and a spanish dance class too. In this class we taught them how dance "La Macarena", "Aserejé" and "Paquito Chocolatero". Only a few people danced with us (included the teacher Kara), but everybody was clapping and enjoying the songs. Possibly they thought that we went nuts when they saw us dancing, but it was very funny.

So thank you very much to people who joined us, and overall to the others spanish in the school. In the beginning they weren't very sure if we can do a great party, but we did it!!!
