Day 12 - The End. Well Internet was spotty in the next couple of hotels, then non-existent on the cruise, but now we are back in Athens and have contact with the mothership once again. Well there is way to much to tell to give a detailed account, but I will give a breif summary of each of the last several days. So on day 12 we visited the anciet Delphi site. it is know for the Oracle of Delphi that people 2500 years ago would travel long distances to come and get guidance from. It was a very impressive site. After our morning visit we traveled to past the Corinth canal, where I successfully launched a rock into, then on to a little city of Nafpilo for afternoon freetime, and then on to our hotel ... read more

Day 8 Finally, Luggage!!!! it took many calls to the airports (Milan, Rome, Naples) but we took a detour today and finally got my suitcase. Oh the joy. Now I have all chargers and adaptors and I will upload a bunch of photos ASAP. (most likely tomorrow) Anyway, today we left Rome and headed south. We took a detour to the Naples Airport and retreived my suitcase. We then continued on to the great city of Pompeii. We had a very engaging tour guide, Marco, that taught as all about the ruins and the life of people in Pompeii at the time it was buried. I really enjoyed seeing this sight again and I think all the students had a nice time. We then drove to the coast city of Sorrento and enjoyed some free time ... read more

Greetings from Europe. So far there are two things that we have been without. Internet, and luggage. Alexa and I have been missing our luggage that never showed up in Italy. Alexa should get hers in the morning and mine is still Missing In Action. But life goes on and it will show up eventually. So with that said, on with the details. Day 1-2 So our journey begins. All things considered our flights went very well. We did get stuck at the gate in New York for a about an extra hour with minor mechanical problems before we could depart, but finally off we went and almost everyone slept very well on the flight. We arrived in Milan and soon discovered that my suitcase as well as Alexa's was left in New York and we ... read more

Day 11 Today will be a quick update and then I will try and add photos tonight. Today we left Nice early in the morning and drove to a little coastal town called Cassis. It is a charming little town that is know for these rocky inlets along the coast. We had a great time wandering the city and checking out the great little shops and restaurants. The highlight was a nice boat ride out to the Calanques, the rocky inlets. The best way to describe it is Lake Powell, just white cliffs with pine trees. Each little inlet is a twisting canyon with the clearest water you have ever seen. It was an awesome little boat tour. We stayed in Cassis a bit longer than planned because we enjoyed it so much, then continued on ... read more

Day 7 Today was a full day in Florence. We arrived in the city from our hotel at about 10:00 and went directly to the cathedral. Most of the group climbed up the dome of the cathedral. it is quite a hike with well over 400 steps. The students did it slightly faster than the adults. Once at the top we were rewarded with a beautiful view on a very clear day of the entire city of Florence. After our first few days of overcast weather we have had nothing but sun the last few days. After our cathedral climb, we went into the Uffizi art gallery. It is one of the most visited places in Florence and one of the best art museums in the world. It was very crowded and even though we had ... read more
