The Trip

Wow, this was nothing like we had imagined! I'd always made fun of the people who admired the Eiffel Tower until I really saw how much it "towers" over the city. While standing underneath it I felt as if I was standing underneath the crotch of a giant. We have many tales to tell about our ascent to the top of the tower among other adventures in Paris, Barcelona & Madrid (flamenco lessons, what?!)... Madness! However, due to lack of time, I will leave the link to a decent site that chronicles our adventures. It is a work in progress and I hope to develop a more comprehensive blog on our travels with 35 students & adults over the next two weeks. Having my cousin Sam with us was definately a highlight of the trip and at times he kept me sane! Carol has relayed most of this info through her facebook, but this should satisfy all other users... for now :)

P.S. You're asking where the kids were during our tour. They were having a rare (and treasured) vacation of their with their cousins, Carol's sisters, mother & brother in Provo & Vegas. So, a huge shout out to Mami Luz, Wilson, Tia Neni, Tia Zully and all of their spouses & kids for making this possible! Thank you! Los queremos mucho ;)
