Riding out the recession

Last Friday, our school received an interesting visitor. His name is Sean, he is 21 years old and comes from Cornwall, England. He wants to ride a bike all the way from Cornwall to Cape Town, in South Africa! He is doing it to help some charities. While he was riding accross Madrid, he got lost and stopped here to ask for directions, and we were talking with him for a while. Later Antonio drove him to Pinto, and there he continued his trip.

If you want to know more about his project, you can click on http://www.ridingouttherecession.co.uk/about_me.html. There you can donate to the charities he is supporting, too.
You can also see what he is doing by following him on Twitter: http://twitter.com/SeanMaher88
