Romans, Greeks, Cherokees, Barbarians… Just before the August break, the November and April IMBA classes met in Aranjuez for an epic “Dragon Boat” race on the Tajo River. Each section chose a “civilization” to represent, so of course the day was full of festive costumes–some civilized, some not so civilized…

It was a perfect day to be on the water and a great way to usher in summer. In the end The Apaches (N8) came out on top to take home the grand prize: the Torch of Civilization. We hope they’ll carry it forward and pass it along to next year’s victorious civilization.
