We have intenet again. We are sitting at our gate in the Philly airport waiting for the last leg of the trip. The girls went to get food that they like - pizza, pretzels, and smoothies - and no fish.
Well, the internet room at the residence was found out by all of the other countries. So, my posting was non existent because the Hondurans were up all night Facebooking.
Our show at the main stage in Badajoz on Thursday night was great. The amphitheater was surrounded by the medieval city walls. We danced with Russia and Romania. The girls had a great show and graduated to self sufficiency. Ellen told us chaperones that we didn't have to work back stage anymore. The girls really look out for each other and are pros when they have their show faces on.
On Friday we danced in Miajadas - the tomato capital of Europe. The town square was packed with spectators. We again had a great meal at a local restaurant. Ask the girls about the appetizer and the main course (Katie Hansen called it).
Saturday was a demonstration day in the town square. The girls taught the locals and other dancers the Siege of Ennis. Then Saturday night there was a final show at the amphitheater. We didn't dance, but participated in the closing ceremony. It's was hard to believe that it was over.
We hung out at the residence until the bus picked us up for Madrid at 3 am. Needless to say, it's been a long day.
You should be proud of your girls - they were great throughout the whole trip. We chaperones feel lucky that we got to know them so well during this special trip.
So, that's all for now. We'll see you soon. Vicki
