European Travels
By Kevin Wehle

Over the summer, I got the amazing opportunity to travel abroad to Europe. I traveled with 35 other students from all over the country and 3 travel guides. Upon leaving on July 15th, I first landed in Athens, Greece and stayed in a small hotel there. I got to see the Parthenon and talk to the locals. After Athens, I traveled to a small island next to the mainland of Greece named Aegina. It was great there and the water was clear. A few of the people I traveled with stepped on sea urchins and had to go to the doctor. After the island I traveled to Italy and that’s where most of my stay took place. I went to Florence, Rome, Venice, Pisa, Assisi, and Pompeii to name a few. I saw David in Florence, statues of molten people in Pompeii, and took a canal ride in Venice. Assisi was kind of a detour, but it was beautiful, and we were able to dine up on a hill in isolation. After my touristy stays throughout Europe, I stayed with an Italian family in the small town of Pistoia and had tons of fun. After being with my family for a few days I took an overnight train to Paris, France and ended in the Gare De Lyon. In France I stayed mainly around Paris visiting the Palace of Versailles, going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and eating crepes in Montmartre. Overall, I learned so much about other cultures, and I would recommend traveling, whether it be as close as Canada or as far as Europe; you won’t ever regret it. I made memories I’ll forever remember; hopefully, you can too.
