Llegada (arrival)

¡Hola!

We finally got here yesterday at 7:00pm but without our suitcases!
A storm kept us on land in Newark and we took off close to 12:00am. We arrived at Lisbon at 10:30am, missing our 10:15am connecting flight to Sevilla. The next plane to Sevilla from Lisbon was at 2:00am (that´s the flight they put our luggage on!) so they sent us to Barcelona where we waited 3 hours. Everyone was a little tired but excited to be on an adventure. The airports were very nice with lots of shops and cafes. We had a good time!
The kids are all in class right this minute for their first lesson. Everyone came walking from the families´home. The area is very nice and close to a lot of sites, parks and cafes.
More later......

What a way to start this adventure. Taylor, your Uncle Jeff said to tell you he's proud of you and can't wait to talk to you and hear about all you've learned.
So have fun and learn a lot.

Kids must be really tired. Glad to hear that all arrived safely and with their suitcases. Nathan, Grandpa and grandma are going to call you and Alexandra. They are very proud of you and Alexandra. Your Social Study teacher, Mr. Cafiero, said to enjoy your stay in Seville. Have fun and immerse yourself in the Spanish culture. Give our regards to your host and be nice to your host's "perro". Don't forget to call mom.
