They also enjoyed a bird’s eye view of the city while riding on the London Eye. In addition to the city sites, the group went on excursions to Bath, Stonehenge, and Windsor Castle. After a trip on the Eurostar train, the students’ Paris adventure included a city bus tour, a Seine River cruise, strolls through the Latin Quarter, and of course a visit to the Eiffel Tower. While there, the group also toured the palaces and grounds of Versailles and the Louvre Museum. The next adventure took the students to Brussels and a delicious dinner of Belgium waffles. The next day they visited the European Union buildings, La Grand-Place (old town square), the Atomium from the 1958 World’s Fair, and learned about and tasted delicious Belgium chocolate. The final part of the trip was a visit to Amsterdam to tour “The Anne Frank House” and to take a bus tour of the city. Later the group ventured into the country-side to see windmills, traditional villages, and to learn how Dutch wooden shoes and cheese are made.
