Day 2: Paris, France

Our first new country; France
And what city better to explore than Paris

We began our journey at Notre Dame, and continued on to notorious places such as the Palais de Justice, Pont Neuf and Pont des Arts. We strolled through the gardens of the Louvre and down the main avenue, Champs- Elyees. 






We were awed by the history, the beauty and of course, the shopping! Next was our visit to the largest museum in the world, the Louvre! Pictured below is our students with 'Liberty Leading the People' and the 'Mona Lisa'. We were also able to see notorious works such as Venus de Milo, the Crown Jewels and so much more! 









We cruised down the Seine River and
leisurely took in the view of the city. What 
we found great about this tour is that we were able to see the same buildings from earlier in the day but now we had an entirely new view of them! 







Our first day in Paris was a success! But there was one more location we could not wait to arrive to tomorrow. We'll give you a hint.... 







Arrivals Day!


WELCOME ROTARY SWITZERLAND! 
EUROTOUR 2016 

Today we welcomed 42 students from Rotary Switzerland to begin their EuroTour 2016!! As students arrived, they had time to relax, enjoy the pool and hang out before dinner. The crowd pleaser at dinner was the chocolate mousse. I mean, who doesn't love Swiss chocolate? 



In the beginning, we started out as 15 different countries but as time progressed, memories were made and adventures were had, we became ONE family.
