Teacher Visits Spanish Museums
(Editor's Note: Dick Car
ter, Medford, foreign lan
guage instructor at Hedrick
Junior High school, has
been In Madrid, Spain,
where he was enrolled in
the Eurocenter Language
institute, studying the Span
ish language. He was
among other teachers in this
country selected for the lan
guage and culture tour in
Spain through the Ameri
can Heritage association.
My month-long stay in Ma
drid was marked by a series
of visits to art museums, thea
ters, and sidewalk cafes, not
to mention the four and six
hours of classes each day ex
cept Sunday at the Mangold
Language institute there. Most
notable among the museums
was El Prado with its thou
sands of paintings by such
greats as Goya, Velazquez,
Rubens and Van Breughel.
It's no wonder that the Eu
ropeans are more up on classi
cal art than we are when
they have so many originals
close at hand.
Madrid is a good place to
set up headquarters and then
take side trips from there to
other interesting parts of
Spain. The people in my
group from Oregon went one
day to Toledo, another day to
Segovia, and another day to
El Escorial and the Valley of
the Fallen. I was most im
pressed with the last mention
ed which is a memorial and
tomb for the dead on both
sides in the Spanish Civil
War. Here a huge chapel and
catacombs are carved out in
side a stone mountain. The
cross-shaped chapel extends
900 feet into the mountain
and has dome-shaped ceilings
at least 40 feet high. On the
peak of the mountain above
the chapel there is a concrete
cross which stands 500 feet
high.
Building Is Old
El Escorial is a short drive
from the Valley of the Fallen.
This huge grill shaped build
ing was built about 400 years
ago as a monastery, a tomb
for Spanish royalty, and an
art museum. It also served
Phillip II as a retirement
home. His quarters are intact
as they were when he died.
They are quite austere and a
real contrast to the ornate
tombs, crypts and caskets in
Women Return

Montague Mrs. Harold
Coatney and Mrs. Dl Raver

Mrs. Coatney was a guest of

Raver visited several nieces.
The travelers also took in the
sights at Disneyland, Marine-
land, Knott s Berry Farm and
the wax museum.

the cellar where he and his
relatives are now resting.
What the building lacks in
style it makes up for in im
mensity and is certainly worth
seeing.
From Madrid we traveled
across La Mancha, Don Quix
ote's territory, to Valencia,
Our train seats were first
class for the eight-hour ride,
and the scenery was terrific.
Just outside of Madrid we
saw farmers threshing wheat
in the ancient method of let
ting mules pull a drag over
it to separate the kernels, then
tossing it in the air by hand
to let the wind blow away
the chaff. Farther on, we saw
hundreds of square miles of
grape vines. I've heard that
water is so scarce in Spain
and wine so plentiful that
they sometimes use wine in
stead of water in making mor
tar for houses. Seeing all
those grapevines in La Man
cha in all that dry country
made me believe the story.
Close to Valencia we began
to see orange groves. Many
of these were on terraced
hillsides with a row of trees
on each terrace. I thought of
how the people at home might
do that with pear trees if they
ever ran short of flat land. On
the plains near Valencia there
were small plots of corn, on
ions, and oranges, many of
which are being irrigated
from the same ditches and
canals built by the Moors of
Africa as much as a thousand
years ago.
Valencia Interesting
Valencia was interesting to
me because of the legend of
El Cid. Many people at home
saw the movie of the name
when it came through there
last year. Two of the city
gates and part of the walls
that El Cid defended in the
eleventh century are still
standing. Between the ancient
gates, the horse-drawn carts
and the scenery at the beach,
Valencia is a photographer's
paradise.
Despairing of trying to see
all of Europe in the two
weeks left to me here on the
Continent, I chose instead to
go where many Europeans go
on vacation. The place I chose
was Ibiza, the smallest of the
Spanish Balearic islands in
the Mediterranean. Plane fare
was only about $5 from Va
lencia. Once there, I found a
cot in the hallway of a small
hotel for 33 cents a night. It
being the tourish season, I
felt lucky to find that. After
a couple nights a bunk be
came vacant in a room with
two Spanish workmen. The
room was so small that we
had to take turns using the
floor space to dress and un
dress. There are a couple big
ger and more expensive hotels
in the town of Ibiza and there
are others in some of the oth
er small towns on the island.
These hotels too, however,
were quite crowded.
American Minority
The Americans were in a
real minority on the island.
Most of my friends there
were young people from Eng
land, France and Spain. There
were also many Dutch, Bel
gians and Germans on the
island, but they seemed to
keep more to themselves. It's
a great place for a student of
foreign languages. The wait
ers in the restaurants speak
at least five languages each
by having been exposed to
the different tongues and by
having an economic purpose
for learning them. My friends
would communicate alter
nately in English, French and
Spanish. I was left out on the
French but I made up for it
by conversing in Russian with
a young Frenchman of White
Russian ancestry who spoke
no English.
It finally came time for me
to leave Ibiza and come to
Barcelona. A number of my
friends from there were tak
ing the ship to Barcelona, so
I decided to do the same.
Third class passage cost me
about $3 for the 13 hour trip.
I had a bunk in a compart
ment with four bunks in it,
but I spent most of my time
up on deck playing a guitar
and singing with a crowd of
young Englishmen. Many of
them were well up on Ameri
can folk songs. The sea was as
smooth as glass and the moon
lighted everything like a neon
bulb. It was with weary but
reluctant feet that I finally
went below for a few hours
sleep.
Check Cashed
In Barcelona I spent a
frantic half day trying to cash
a check before the banks clos
ed. It seems that the banks of
Barcelona have not heard of
the banks of Oregon, and even
a certified check means noth
ing. Finally, after a trip to the
American consul, I was sent
to a bank that believed there
was such a place as Oregon
and knew what a certified
check was.
Yesterday I spent the first
half day visiting the Cathe
dral of the Sacred Family
which is now about one-quarter
finished and has been un
der construction now for over
80 years. Even in its present
state, it is one of the most
grandiose and weird buildings
I've ever seen. It has four con
ical bell towers with spiral
bracing made entirely of cut
stone and standing 580 feet
high. About two-thirds of the
way to the top, I discovered
I had a fear of heights. The
towers are so narrow, and the
spiral staircase so steep, that
I would challenge anyone not
to start thinking of earth
quakes, windstorms, and feel
ing a bit of vertigo in the
ascension. I'd like to come
back here in about another 80
years and see how the build
ing has come along. They may
even have the nave finished
by then.
I spent yesterday afternoon
soaking up an atmosphere of
history on board the Santa
Maria here in Barcelona's
harbor. This replica of Co
lumbus' flagship was built in
1951 and is reputedly exact
down to the smallest detail.
In inspecting the captain's
cabin I expected to see a sign
over the bunk saying "Colum
bus slept here," but I guess
the Spanish thought that
would be going too far.
To England
Tomorrow I leave here for
"jolly old England" and after
a few days there, I'll fly back
to Montreal and wend my
way across Canada by train.;
This entire trip has mada
me feel grateful to the Ameri
can Heritage association for
their plans and arrangements
and I would advise anyone
wanting an economy trip to .
Europe to write their offica
in Oswego for information. .
Another thing that has been
helpful has been a book call
ed "Europe on Five Dollars
a Day" by Arthur Frommer.
I've been disappointed with a
couple places mentioned in
the book, but for the most
part, it's been a big help.
