JacobHowdy from Wales. Internet availability has been terrible, so we haven't been able to post for some time. A few days ago, I had the brilliant idea (if I do say so myself) of having the Delegates post to the blog. Each morning I select different students to write about the previous days' activities. Since then, we have not had any internet! Josh even typed the entries on a word document, but we have not been able to copy and paste. So here goes....
JOSH - At the United Kingdom Sailing Academy, it was easy to tell the entire delegation had a great time. Yesterday, half the delegation would have an event where 3 teams had to buy raft-building supplies with a 1000 pound budget in an auction, and then build and race rafts against each other. The other half of the group went kayaking, and after lunch switched games. Although I personally felt sick, and did not get in the water, the UKSA leaders were great to let me be involved by being a judge/auctioneer, which was really cool. Today, we are going to the Tower of London, seeing a play, touring the Thames and meeting a former member of Parliament. I'm really excited!
P.S. Hi Dad. Hi Mom. Hi Zack. Hi Olivia.
JACOB - Hey, I'm Jacob Cruz and so far this trip has been great! I have made lots of friends and visited
lots of ancient buildings. I personally liked the Eiffel Tower and the London Eye, because they were so high in the air. The teachers are nice and they treat us fair, and they keep us safe. That's pretty much all I have to say about the trip so far.
P.S. I love you, Mom and Dad! And I miss you, too.
JAN - The 25th of June was a great day. I needed to get up at 6:45 and go to breakfast at 7:30. We then went to get our stuff, pack and remove the bed sheets. Our schedule: Go to War Museum. Go to London Eye, eat lunch, eat dinner. It was really fun going to the museum and the Eye, but I wish we had some free time.
JOENE - When we went to the Eiffel Tower, it was amazing! The view and the air felt incredible. Our leaders gave us free time to walk around up there. We took so many pictures. All the beautiful places we have been just makes you see all the wonderful things outside of Texas.
JAZMINE - My favorite place that I loved so far on this trip is the American Cemetery. I loved that place because it was sad and it made me think, "I' m grateful for what thee men and women did for our country and what they died for. They died for us so we can have a great and peaceful country.
JUSTIN - This trip is realy fun. We have done alot of things not many people have done in the USA. I like it.
JENNA - It has been a little cold (really cold by Texas standards) and so much fun. The food is nice, but it's times like this when I miss my mom's pepper jelly pork chops. Most of the time we are fed fish, fish and more fish. Oh well, as they say...While in Rome, do as the Romans do.
