Spanish field trip!




As one can imagine, the opportunities for authentic Spanish field trips in Korea are few and far between; however, the 20th Century Latinamerican Art Exhibit at the Korean National Museum of Art in Seoul warranted a daytrip up to Seoul on November 7. My Spanish Department parnter-in-crime, Kirstin, and I enjoyed a beautiful fall day with our 10-12th-grade students and artists like Kahlo, Rivera, Botero, Otero, Bracho, and Siquieros, among others. The museum is located inside the walls of one of the three palace grounds in the capital city, so we left the Latinamerican art inside the museum to enjoy the fall colors surrounding traditional Korean architecture. ¡Fenomenal! Our Friday in Seoul culminated with lunch at On the Border in Seoul, where we conversed en español over tortillas y salsa, burritos, tacos, y enchiladas. ¡Riquísimo!
