Rockhurst University
summer study in Spain
June 22 to July 26, 2004 |

Join 18
Rockhurst students and two faculty
members from the Department of Modern Languages
on their linguistic
and cultural immersion in Spain. The
students studied Spanish in Málaga
on the southernmost coast of España,
and visited Madrid, El Escorial, Segovia,
Sevilla, Granada, Córdoba and Nerja. If
you have any questions or comments about the
group's adventure, e-mail
dscott.hendrickson@rockhurst.edu.

Before
we hit the books, we did a little sight-seeing.
Here we are at La Plaza Mayor de Madrid. |
|
 |
It's a
good thing we left our SUVs at home. (Una

|
| |
 |
Lots
of walking...lots of walking... (Una caminata
por Madrid.) |
|
 |
¡So we've only been here
a few days, but we already feel like
Estudiantes de Cervantes! |
|
| |
 |
Do you think they can tell
we're tourists? This is Don Quijote y Sancho
Panza. |
|
 |
Outdoor
cafes are perfect for intense scholarly
discussions of Spanish language and culture. |
|
| |
 |
Here's
our gang at El Alcázar
de Segovia. |

Acueducto de Segovia -- The

Our fearless leader Scott
is great at recommending which Spanish food
to eat...and which to stay away from. (las
tortillas son muy diferentes aquí.) |
|
 |
La Catedral
de Sevilla, the
third largest in Europe. |
|
| |
|

The architecture here is
fabulous! We've seen all kinds, including
Arquitectura árabe. |
|
| |
|
 |
The Spanish fans (abanicos) come in handy and are stylish too. |
|
 |
Who did their Spanish homework
today? All work and no play makes for a boring
trip to Europe! Here we are in El
Mediterráneo. |
|
| |
|
 |
In between our adventures,
Rocío helps
us (Tutorías) with our language skills. |
|
 |
It looks like we're working,
but we're really just e-mailing friends back
home! (Trabajo) |
