Italy to Greece!!

So we have spent the past three days in Rome, which has been incredible. There is so much history here, making it somewhat difficult to take it all in. Yesterday, we visited the Vatican museum which brought us to the Sistine Chapel, that was beyond amazing. However, our necks hurt from looking up so much at the decorative ceilings. After the Vatican, we walked to the Spanish Steps and the Pantheon. Today, we saw the COLLOSEUM!!! We also saw some really neat ruins. We got somewhat lost in the ruins just because there was so much! Basically, we are super tired at the end of our days, but it is well worth it.
Tomorrow, we are leaving Italy to head over to Athens, Greece. We are excited to see the Parthenon and the Acropolis. We plan on spending a few days there, and then make our way to Santorini, which I am super excited about.
Basically, everything is incredible and I am loving this trip. I miss you all dearly and love you!

  2. We wish we were there. The kids and I are following you. They all made 5.0, 5.5 or 6.0 on their WUR with the exception of 3 students who passed with a 4.5. One student made a 3.5 who is our special one. Anyway, you did a great job teaching them or they could not have done it. They all wrote expository writings. Not one narrative. You are the best!
