Today, the students had the honor of visiting Ciudad Real's ayuntamiento to meet la alcadesa, Eva María Masías. Students were invited to sit in the seats of la tribuna to receive her greeting and words of appreciation (see video). Gail and David delivered some comments to the mayor to show their excitement for participating in a program in Ciudad Real (see video), and then Gail offered a gift to Eva María that included some IU memorabilia. As a gift to the students, each one received a pañuelo as a momento of Ciudad Real. It was exciting to have the members of the local government put the handkerchiefs on each student! We then went to the Plaza Mayor to take a group picture and to have a cool drink to help calm the overwhelming heat.
