Short-term exchange student Emme Torgerson spoke to the club about her time in Spain. She spent her month in Spain in Alicante; our club has a flag from the Rotary Club of Alicante on one of our banners. Emme gave us her impressions of Spanish food, including the emphasis on meat and a widespread love of Coke. Spanish meal times were an adjustment for her, since dinner is eaten very late by US standards. Emme showed photosof churches as well as photos from a festival to Mary that she attended with her exchange sister. Because of Alicante's location on the Mediterranen, swimming in the sea was a frequent activity.
When Emme's Spanish exchange sister was here, they took in a Twins game as well as a Loons game, and many other activities. Emme's family showed her many aspects of American life.
