We're leaving on June 24th

La Plaza Mayor de Salamanca -- our meeting spot "debajo del reloj."
Thirty-seven people are leaving from the Dwight-Englewood School campus on Friday June 24th at 2:00 p.m. We're going to Spain for five weeks. We'll travel in Barcelona, Madrid and Segovia for a week. Then we arrive in Salamanca on Saturday July 2nd at noon. That's when we meet our host families.

This is our 16th consecutive annual trip to Salamanca from D-E. But this is the first time that a blog will be written about the trip. Families and friends will be able to follow our travels as we go. We'll upload pictures and some short stories about what we're doing. You'll be able to follow us as we travel. And you'll be able to make comments for us to hear from you, too.

Since we won't be texting, emailing or calling home so much, because we want to have an immersion experience in the culture and language of Spain, you'll be able to keep track of us anyway by reading our Salamazing blog. So become a follower and enjoy!
