From Gail and Mary Pat

Things we overheard on this trip...

"Random acts of kindness kinda creep me out"

"This blind leading the blind don't work too well." (From Alex when he and Matt almost walked into the ladies room.)

"MOMMMMMM" (in an exasperated tone)

"Life is like a box of chocolates." (We have the pictures to prove it.)

"I am not allowed to tell you anything" (from the free shuttle bus driver as he showed us the sights of Savannah.)

The drive to Savannah

We had fun riding in the car going to Savannah. We had a very long drive in the car. We have arrived in Savannah very safley. And we had dinner at a restarunt called Huweys.

Note from Mary Pat: For those of you who saw us leaving the school packed to the eyeballs, I wanted to let you know that we went from the school to my house, where we put on a car top carrier. That improved the situation quite a bit and the men were able to breath in the car for the rest of the trip.

New trip to Savannah, Philadelphia, and Washington DC!

The Chautauqua crew is taking a new trip to visit historic Savannah, then ride up the East Coast to Philadelphia, and finally making a stop at our nation's capital in Washington D.C. The students will blog about their experiences each day to chronicle their adventures and report back on their tour of the White House. Stay tuned to catch up on the amazing experiences of these students.

Tales from Iceland

For our activities yesterday we mainly spent the day napping, being lazy, and avoiding cleaning the cabins. We planned to stay up to watch the Northern Lights, but as you know, things change and the lights didn’t show up. So, disappointed we headed back to our cabins to pack, clean, and try to steal some hours of sleep. In the early hours of the morning we woke up to pack the cars and transport ourselves to the Guest House, Sunna in Reykjavik. The car carrying all our luggage was a little late in meeting up with the group...hard to believe since they were given very clear directions that consisted of "meet you in Reykjavik." Why give directions to the motel when its much easier to aimlessly drive the streets of a foreign city in the hope that no directions/street names/or any other information will naturally lead one to the front door of the small Guesthouse we had booked. To make up for the slow day yesterday we decided to explore the town, shops, and restaurants. To add to the days excitement we went to the spa/pool house in the almost freezing weather. Everyone went straight to the hot tubs to melt all the ice collecting on our faces and hair. Soon the hot tubs temperature was a little too intense for some and they abandoned the hot tub for the tall, curvy, beautiful, epic SLIDE! After that we played in the warm pool, sat around and relaxed. We left for some more food; our group split up into two groups: pizza or sushi. Tomorrow we are leaving for Boston and we will all be home by Wednesday, so cheers to a five hour long plane ride. –Marley and August
