Students had the opportunity to do service at a home for people with mental disabilities. We performed a couple of songs such as Lean on Me, and You & Me by Jason Maraz, as others clapped and even danced along. After some musical entertainment, we accompanied our buddies, playing hockey, basketball, soccer, and also did some art. Though this was all fun, we reflected on the experience where we expressed a lack of preparation for the exposure to a different reality. Some of us within the group had never done this type of service, making it difficult for us to fully enjoy the experience. We were respectful of eachother's  feelings and came to consensus that this was a wonderful learning experience for which we were grateful, but would not be something we would continue to do for the full week. We handled the situation in a very mature manner and the sharing of emotions brought us even closer as a group.

After we did service work we all had a group lunch with our teachers and the teachers from CELEI the international school in Granada that we partner with. We had salad and soups and really yummy fish!! After lunch the students and teachers from CELEI visited the Cathedral de Granada and the Capilla Real of Granada. After returning home some of us went out and got tapas and the rest of us watched a Granada versus Español de Barcelona game. It was so fun and the teams tied in the end! What football fanatics the Spanish are!
