  **Lost on a Train** Seven loud lost Americans on a singular train. The Spanish marked trains identical, Only numbers and colors on a confusing Spanish map. Seven lost frustrated Americans on the wrong train. Right color, right line, wrong direction, lost in Spain. Switch lanes, switch trains. Seven listening Americans on a single train. Waiting to hear the murmured words of the train conductor, "Atocha" Seven street level Americans hyped on the Dunkin Donuts steps away. Familiar donuts with unfamiliar names, Confusing coffees with promising depictions. ~ Cole Bickford   ![Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hs-fs/file-1756939551-jpg/Spain_Fall_14_-_Wk_2/Fall14_Week_1_edited-2.jpg?width=785&name=Fall14_Week_1_edited-2.jpg "Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art")    ![Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hs-fs/file-1756765677-jpg/Spain_Fall_14_-_Wk_2/Fall14_Week_1_edited-3.jpg?height=785&name=Fall14_Week_1_edited-3.jpg "Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art")   El hombre invisible (the invisible man) by Salvador Dalí   Jumping out of bed and hurrying to the bus stop was not a great way to kick off the weekend. It began the day before. I was staying up late, anticipating the coming sleep-in until 11:45. Upon making it to the bus, I was greeted by my fellow classmates chuckling over my failure. It was our first time experiencing Madrid. It is a large and active city, a busy change from the comparably small winding streets of Segovia. We were greeted by our Spanish teacher, María José, a local resident. With her, we enjoyed a lunch buffet topped with a can of whipped cream. The group visited La Reina Sofía modern art museum. It held works by famous Spanish and European artists such as Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso. One of the most well known pieces of the Sofía's collection was the twenty-five-foot-long Guernica. Painted by Picasso in 1937, It depicts the bloodshed and brutality of the Spanish civil war while only using black and white colors. We ended that day with a happy dinner and a smooth bus ride back. ~ Stuart Hull   ![Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hs-fs/file-1754634839-jpg/Spain_Fall_14_-_Wk_2/Fall14_Week_1_edited-4.jpg?width=785&name=Fall14_Week_1_edited-4.jpg "Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art")   Allie admires this sculpture by Dalí.   ![Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hs-fs/file-1756765712-jpg/Spain_Fall_14_-_Wk_2/Fall14_Week_1_edited.jpg?width=785&name=Fall14_Week_1_edited.jpg "Proctor en Segovia experiential education modern art")   ![Proctor en Segovia leaves for Camino de Santiago](https://blogs.proctoracademy.org/hs-fs/file-1754051103-jpg/Spain_Fall_14_-_Wk_2/Fall14_Week_2_edited.jpg?width=785&name=Fall14_Week_2_edited.jpg "Proctor en Segovia leaves for Camino de Santiago")   And then we were off on a train to Galicia to walk for three days on the Camino de Santiago.
