Post-Trip Reflection

It has now been 26 days since I arrived back in the states at JFK airport.  As expected, I had an amazing time in Europe with much thanks to the wonderful staff we had leading the way.  Chris, our instructor, Emily, our leader, and Hannah, our photographer, did unbelievable jobs explaining to us the significance of our destinations in the creation of  Western Civilization, keeping our schedules fun-filled and action-packed, and keeping photographic evidence of our trip.  They made sure that we had the best time; and, for myself, the best times were our trip to the Vatican City, the Acropolis, the Uffizi, and the Arch di Triomphe.  Chris did an excellent job of teaching us all about the history of various monuments and sites while we stood directly under them.  Constantly on the move, we were given the opportunity to learn about a multitude of locations while engrossing ourselves in the respective cultures at the same time.  Not only did we travel to four separate, major destinations, but we also took day-trips to Mycenae, Pompeii, Siena, Pisa, and Versailles.  Overall, I can say that there was nothing else that I would have rather done this summer!

Habui tempus magnum!
I had a great time!
