Mid-Term Break

It's hard to believe we've passed the halfway mark...Tempus fugit! Over the week long mid-term break, students scattered across Europe (and one even made it home to Oregon). Their destinations included:

Greece: Athens, Mykonos, Crete, Patmos, Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu, Paxos, Antipaxos, Parga
Turkey: Dalaman, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Marmaris, Dalyan, Kusadasi
Italy: Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan
France: Paris, Marseille, Montpellier
Spain: Barcelona, Granada, Seville
Ireland: Dublin, Galway, Limerick, Killarney, Cork
Scotland: Edinburgh, Glasgow
Germany: Hamburg, Munich
Hungary: Budapest
Czech Republic: Prague

My wife Nancy and I celebrated our 9th anniversary in Rome, then rented a tiny car and toured Umbria, Tuscany, Liguria and Lombardy. In Chiavari, I was delighted to reconnect with an old friend. Otto Teja was an exchange student at my high school in San Diego in 1965.
