Remembering Spain: Christine McLaughlin

The summer of ’09 has had a lot of challenges in store for me. Challenge #1? Stay awake for 30 hours straight upon arrival to Barcelona. I must admit, I barely overcame this one without passing out into my paella at dinner and credit my narrow victory to a rest at the hotel (during which I did NOT take a 47 minute siesta…). Challenge #2? Acquire gelato at every possible opportunity. I lost count at ten. Success! But I guess the greatest challenge of all is posed in the form of a question asked by my family and friends: “Spain—what...

My trip to Spain was not like any other vacation I have been on before. Not only did we travel to Spain as tourists, but we went to sing as well. Also all of the people that were apart of the trip greatly influenced the outcome. The first day that we were in Spain touring I greatly enjoyed myself and thought this trip was well worth it. I was actually in Spain! Then the next day when we had our first concert in a cathedral, I realized that this is the reason that we practiced so hard during the entire year and that touring Spain was just an...

SCSS Returns from Spain!

The gifts from the other night left me speechless.  Your thoughtfulness was overwhelming.  I still cannot...

Day 6 and 7: Nothing But Memorable

Dear ALL, Yes, we are all still here! Last night we didn’t get back to the hotel until 0:05….can you tell what time that is???? Thankfully, we didn’t leave today until 10:00 a.m. Back to yesterday – we left Valencia and drove 4 hours to Madrid. We had a pretty quiet first two hours on Bus 1….then a rest stop, Spain style!! More shopping. Can you believe it….at a rest stop! These kids use every opportunity! Then off to Madrid. A check in at our hotel and very quick lunch around the corner. We were good. Give this group 45 minutes...
