Today was another full day with two special guests. We had a member of a local rock band explain the history of modern Spanish music from Franco to the present. After lunch with their families, the students returned for an amazing tour of the Hospital de la Caridad. This is a true treasure of a church, full of Murillo paintings, and the students loved the explanation given by our guide, the appropriately named Jesus. He is a professor at the University of Sevilla and has a real talent for making our kids understand high level content. He then took us to the University (an old tobacco factory) where we used a classroom to have a great liturature lesson of a very short but fascinating story. After saying goodby to Jesus we went to the Plaza de Espana to see the huge builings built for the Hispanoamerican Expo and, after squeezing out an elderly couple, we took our group picture infront of Mr. Collier's favorite city (there are 51 provincial cities represented by these decorative benches.)
