A few last photos before everyone headed home!
I couldn't help myself -- I had to take a couple more pictures this morning as students said their final goodbyes to host families beside the bus, headed off on our 2.5 hour trip to the Madrid airport, and then passed through the Iberia check-in area. The flight has just left, and in nine or so hours, everyone will be touching down in the States again!

Our 5:45 bus-boarding.
For the first few minutes, there were cheerful goodbye, and people were eager to have a final picture.
Jessica and Aline with our onsite-coordinator, MarÃa José.
Tears were also shed, especially in the last few minutes before boarding the bus, by which point nobody was eager for a picture anymore.

Then, after about two hours and twenty minutes, I went around and took a final picture of everyone waiting and napping before we arrived at the airport.
Stylish, Aline!

And finally, after arriving and checking their bags, I got one final picture of almost everyone as they left the line and prepared to head through security with Juan and Jessica (leaving me behind).

Have a safe journey everyone, and happy summer!
