Today we went to the Rhein and saw do many castles and fortresses! It was very neat. We went on a tour of one learned about it and got to see inside and everything. It was almost 800 years old!

We met at school at 8:00 everyone shining and happy, then took the bus along the Rhine to a 12th century fortress where we had an English tour.

Two of the German 10th graders were in Hawaii for a semester, so their English is…

3 weeks agoI’m a bit late in getting this video up from May. This is the first trip to Boulder to see Justin and Juliet’s new place. It’s quite beautiful, lots of nice touches by Juliet I can see. We visited where she works and she’s very excited about it. We also visited many fine restaurants and Justin’s school.

Lily: dad!
