Dear Global Education Office:
Despite the blurriness of the photo, I hope it captures the excitement we felt in attending a Real Madrid game -- in Madrid itself! Perhaps the fact that I hadn't been to a professional football game before was a factor, but watching the game from our...

Dear Global Education Office:
