Your constant hosts, guides, and translators
during your time in Segovia are Suzy
and Mark Ma rkowitt,
organizers of the "Cocina Castellana"program.Mark
and Suzy have worked for years as international educators and
have lived in many different countries including the Philippines,Saudi
Arabia,Germany, India, Venezuela, UK, Mexico, Singapore,Uganda,Angola,
and Spain,Mark since 1953 and Suzy since 1973.For a "home
away from home", Mark and Suzy choose Spain,where they were
involved in Programs in Overseas Education, an academic summer
program for American High School students from the early seventies
into the nineties. The skills they developed during those years
are now refl ected
in the "TSL"name, a joyous play on the academic term
"English as a Second Language". These people know Segovia
well. They are friends with its artists
and artisans, its writers and teachers, its priest sand nuns,
its business people and government officials, its waiters and
chefs in the taverns and restaurants.On
this program, participants will certainly meet a good many of
them as part of the Castilian panorama, and will return home
with memories of true Spanish "amigos". Suzy and Mark
are indeed dedicated tour guides and revel in bringing Spain
to Americans by bringing Americans to Spain.
