The last two days have been filled with adventure and opportunities to show physical strength, and careful understanding of the Spanish language. After a morning of classes and social interactions with the local we headed to “Entre ramas” (Among Branches) a zip line theme park in Roche, about 45 minutes outside of Cádiz. This park was built without disturbing the natural surroundings or cutting the trees. It has 4 circuits of increasing difficulties from blue to black. The students practiced listening to important instructions given in Spanish; of course there was the incentive of not being able to do any of the circuits unless they understood everything and were able to mimic all of the security steps, like using the lifeline cords, the harness, the pulley, etc.; Needless to say that there were quite a few excitement screams, and plenty of nervous laughter. The following day our participants continue with the show of strength and careful listening, this time in the ocean. They went to port of Santa María, to the Valdelagrana beach to get a taste of kayaking and paddle surf. A few decided to do both kayaking and paddle surf, others stuck with one in an attempt to dominate both, the ocean and the boat.
