On February 4th, Maggie and Joe, the two other exchange students in Zaragoza, and I went with the Rotary Club of Zaragoza to an area outside of the city called Zuera. We were also joined by our host families and Rachel, one of our friends who is an exchange student staying in Barcelona. She stayed with Maggie for the weekend. The Rotary Club of Zuera 'adopted' a piece of property in order to maintain and preserve nature. Also, a small memorial Rotary monument was built on the edge of the property a few years ago. We all met at a restaurant near the property at about 10 am. Once everyone arrived, we first went to visit the monument and then went deeper into the property. We planted 250 pine saplings to help prevent erosion. The planting only took about an hour and a half because we were such a large group. When we finished planting, we all went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. It was an outing that I really enjoyed because I don't see the Rotary members too often and it was a nice opportunity to spend some time with them all.
Until next time, Brian
