I’ve been back from Spain for a couple of weeks now and I’m finally getting around to blogging about the trip. Sorry it took so long! I really need to find a rhythm with this whole blog thing.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the time in Madrid. It’s interesting to note that this was the first time most of us had ever met face-to-face, but we all felt like knew each other very well. I attribute this to the wonderful individual personalities and quality of the Instituto de Empresa’s Global Communities MBA (GC MBA) program.

Note: If you click on any of these photos it will take you to Flickr where you can watch this as a slideshow with even more photos.

Enjoy!

Here are a few photos from our first night’s dinner.  I like blurry photos every once in a while…  That’s more how memories end up anyway!

Here are some shots from the courtyards of Instituto de Empresa’s beautiful campus in Madrid.      

What a bunch of beautiful ladies.

Sara and Jose Antonio…  We’ll miss you Jose!

Karan and Maria…  We’ll miss you too Maria!

These shots are from the formal dinner during the Community Integration Day (CID).  It was a wonderful dinner and a great opportunity for everyone to get to know each other better.  The GC MBA has a Spanish section and an English section.  There were members from both sides at this CID. Because I speak Spanish and English I ended up as the pseudo ambassador to the Spanish program.  During this dinner I ended up being the translator to an impromptu exercise of integrating the English and Spanish programs.  It was a lot of fun…  We ended it with shots of tequila!

This was dinner from the last night of the CID.  Miguel was a gracious host and made sure everyone was well taken care of.  I can’t remember the name of the restaurant (please leave a comment if you remember), but it had great paella and was located near Plaza de Sol.

This is the last photo I’m allowed to publish on Karan’s birthday later that night!  Let’s just say…  Rock stars would be jealous of how we got down.
