CIS Training - A Day in the Country!


Today we had the opportunity to get certified by the CIS to make school accreditation visits. We left this morning and headed for the countryside, to a farm owned by an international school here in Madrid. We had a wonderfully long day, enjoyed the new scenery and the cool weather! Hopefully soon we'll get a call to head to visit a new international school - if not, it will at least look good on the CV!

Rick, the director of our program - was kind enough to let us get our Starbucks this morning even though we were already running late!

This was a random sign on the side of the road - a huge bull + a no smoking sign on the bus! Sorry my picture taking capabilities aren't too great today.

I wasn't kidding with you - Angela really is here! We had an hour there and back to catch up, which was wonderful! I only see her during lunch breaks, so it was nice to have time to talk.



Our nice and air conditioned "ride" to the country!

Kirstie and Heather look really excited to be sitting there learning all sorts of fun, new things!

Angela, hard at work!



This is randomly thrown into the mix, but as we were walking to our Metro from school this evening, I took a picture of the restaurant we have lunch at every Friday - or at least a picture of their sign!


We all seemed to have a good day, happy to be certified, but feeling exhausted. A new class starts Monday, so tomorrow I am dedicated to get all of my reading in and rest.
There are only ten more schools day left - keep us all in your prayers - these will probably be the two hardest classes!
Adios!
