Week 2 of Madrid TEFL Course

Debut of the ninja pants!
We started teaching during the 2nd week of the course.
It is amazing how much confidence wearing ninja pants can give you.

Ben had a little hiccup with his lung collapsing. This pic is of Lisa, Julie, and I visiting him in the hospital. Truth-be-told, there was much worry over the situation and much relief as a week and a day later he finally left the hospital. We love you Ben!

The TEFL course teaching had us all in full gear with studies and stressing. This first week really had me focused on what I wanted to get out of my experience both personally and professionally.

Madrid weekend #1

Saturday of my first weekend here in Madrid was spent with some of the girls from my class. We got out and did some shopping in Fuencarral, had some tapas, and crashed a party.
I also found some sweet ninja pants which will be featured in a future post.

Here we see the lovely Cathi enjoying the grass floor of one of the shops in Fuencarral.
Lukas, you would have enjoyed it!
