At 8:15 AM, we all gathered at the train station. Full of anticipation, we waved goodbye to all the guardians. The challenge of getting 38 students with all their luggage onto the train went very well, as all the students were very helpful. At the airport, everything went well until it was time to take off. Thunderstorms in Spain caused delays. Once in Barcelona, we were met by a bus driver who brought us safely to Sant Gregori. As we approached the school, the cheers and nervousness on the bus exploded when they saw their host families. We received a very warm welcome.
