Check out the Sister Communities Project of San Ramon. This group is trying the improve the quality of life in their village. A friend of mine went down there recently with some students from Chapel Hill and took school supplies to donate to the very rural & poor schools involved in this project. (Nicaragua is the second poorest country in the western hemisphere.) I encourage you to peruse the website as it gives a good overview of this non-profit group - also check out Finca Esperanza Verde. It's a very cool eco-lodge built by this organization. www.san-ramon.org

We went to France and Spain in 2005 with EF Tours; click the link to see their company's website.

Several of my Spanish I kids went with me to see a live Flamenco Performance in Wilmington.  It was too difficult to get good photos of the dancers, but here are some pictures of the spectators!  If you want to know more about the dance troupe, here's a link to the group's website.

This is the entrance to La Feria de Sevilla (Seville's Fair).  This huge festival is held the week after Semana Santa/Holy Week (aka the week prior to Easter Sunday). It's a chance for everyone to let off some steam after a very somber week and to celebrate spring time!
