Going home

Hello parents! It's just about time for us to come home. The girls have been absolutely wonderful; Ms. Rohrbach and I are so proud of their behavior -- especially compared to the students from the other school in our group. Our girls have been polite and cooperative and haven't complained once. You have raised them right! We couldn't have asked for a more delightful group of girls. I think they will have many memorable experiences to share with all of you when they return.

Just to remind you: we return to LAX at 7:00 on Air France on flight number 69. We will see you when we come out of customs.

See you soon!

Our last day

Today was a low key day that involved lots of shopping and a trip to the Acropolis. After learning about the temple atop the Acropolis, the Parthenon, we visited a necklace shop where we were able to order customized columns adorned with our names in Greek. Excited about our recent purchases, we trekked to downtown Athens for some extremely exciting shopping. We bargained and bought and tried on and shopped, even found some Homecoming dresses! (Brittney :]) At our hotel, we happened across Athena Hall. J Overall a great day but we are all definitely ready to go home. Leaving with a strong bond between us all, and a big smile in our newly educated brains, and thousands of souvenir shopping bags, we are all eager to be reunited with our friends and family. Tha se do sintoma!
