Friends, family and food - Celebrating the 4th of July in Spain

Here´s Pedro providing a bit of history...

                                                                        The singing...

And of course, the laughs - of which there were plenty throughout the evening. As part of our celebration of the 4th of July, Honors Program students planned activities for their friends and families, including a 3-legged race, trivia and a water balloon "war." They also got to sing (shhhhhhh!!!!) the national anthem.

The highlight of the event was of course the food, combining traditional Spanish dishes and American favorites. Many students helped their families prepare for the picnic by cooking, baking or providing recipes they could make together.

                            P.S. - Yes, these hamburgers were REAL and they were delicious! :)
