Final Post

Hello everyone! 

Here are some final highlights from the last few days of the program. We ended with the Farewell Show that is a tradition of IUHPFL to say goodbye to families and highlight our students' talents. On Saturday, we hugged the host families goodbye before hearing to Madrid for our final excursion. 

In Madrid we visited to world renowned art museums, El Prado and Reina Sofia. Students were able to see the famous works by Salvador Dali and Picasso among other prestigious painters. We also enjoyed churros in Madrid and some students ate "bocadillo de calmares" which Madrid is known for. 

Ava and Aaron presented some awards for superlatives that the students voted on during the farewell show. Jackson received the award for the most athletic. Maya was nominated as the best dancer and Lily as the most creative. 

Here is the best dressed award going to Liliana. The nicest award went Abby and the best duo went to the host brothers, Lucas and Carlos. 

Saturday morning, giving hugs and saying goodbye!

Thank you everyone that made this a great experience for our students abroad. This group of 26 students will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for being such a great group of students to have had the pleasure of sharing this experience with. We wish you nothing but the best! 

Please enjoy the rest of your summer, recharge, and spend time with your loved ones! We look forward to hearing about all the amazing things you will do again in the future. Never stop being curious, traveling, and opening your hearts to new experiences in new places.
