Vivid memories as our time in Paris winds down, and we head on to our next destination…

Paul – tiny neighborhood of Montmartre

Ryan Sandeen – weinerschnitzel in Amsterdam

Alex Rose – view of Paris from Sacre Coeur cathedral

Coleman – buildings along the canals in Amsterdam

Asher – being back in Amsterdam after 4 years and walking the twisting

alleys

Elena – being face to face with the Van Gogh self-portrait in the Musee

d’Orsay

Chris – the ease of crisscrossing Europe via train. One train ride

three countries!

the quite inside the Notre Dame cathedral

Reagan – first view of the Eiffel Tower (after coming out of the

Trocadero metro stop)

Ryan g – speaking French with people

Jon – the relaxed atmosphere of Amsterdam (compared to the hustle

bustle of Paris) and the walkable nature of the city. Calm.

Sara Chu – being able to communicate with people in French. Feeling

more connected to the culture with less of a language barrier

Austin – immense size and beauty and immaculate preservation of Sacre

Coeur.

Had a great evening. After dinner we walked up the hill to Sacre Coeur

and were able to walk through the cathedral and sit down for a while

in silence and marvel at the sheer size and absolute magnificence of

the place. Students couldn’t belive their eyes and Paul and Asher went

back in as the rest of the group marveled at the view of Paris spread

out below. After a quick spin through the streets of Monmarte and “the

best ice cream in the world” we hit the metro and were amazed by how

much Laumiere, our final metro stop at the hotel, has come to feel

like home.

Good luck to the seniors from all of us! We’re praying for good

weather!
