Encounter with Brownsville students in Zaragoza

We finally met our friends from The Frederick Douglass Academy VII , Brownsville , New York, in
Zaragoza on their way to Madrid from Barcelona. We had a brief but great time together over lunch in a lovely terrace at El Pilar Square. The students had a little exchange and we hope they stay in touch over time. In the digital era there are no big distances among people around the world.

"It was great getting to meet you and spend some quality time together. Our students really fell in love with yours", texted  Bijoun Jordan. Now that I look back in time , a couple of months ago, when I first saw the news on TV then came the video-making process and the first contact with  Bijoun,- the teacher responsible for the trip- and then our final encounter in Zaragoza on 5th July .
We are delighted with the experience and we hope they will always remember this trip and this little anecdote within a fantastic trip.
