Home Sweet Home

| An exhausted but happy group |
The last two weeks has been enriching and rewarding for our students, they got to explore, experience and discover. They were able to taste, see, smell and feel different things around them. They had the opportunity to sample many things such as snails in Paris, pancakes in Amsterdam, crepes in France, stroopwafels in The Netherlands and who can forget those Dutch fries with mayo.
Our students have embarked on an adventure that they will never forget…flying across the Atlantic Ocean to many exciting things that happened. Some of the kids were talking about many different kinds of transportation that they experienced in the last two weeks. The list became very long but here goes: airplane, car, van, tram, train, bus, boat, metro, bike, taxi, escalator, elevator, and not to mention walking and running!
They now know that the world is now a bigger place, they saw the sights, history, architecture, museums, scenery, factories and many more. They got to learn travel skills, how to be flexible, how to adapt, and how to communicate with people who do not sign/speak either ASL or English.
Families greeted the kids at the airport and many hugs were exchanged and they all were happy to be home. More stories will be shared over time with you all, we are sure of it.
Until the next trip....

Jen's Note: Although I did not go on the trip, I can speak for everyone that we are truly happy the group enjoyed their trip very much and got home safely. Their trip back to New Mexico went smoothly. Welcome home, everyone!
