Let's see - that was middle school so she must have been 13 or 14. She traveled to 5 countries in Europe over 2 weeks.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I think I found the perfect sugar cream pie recipe. This one uses heavy whipping cream instead of half & half and less sugar. I like the texture of this one better and the taste isn't nearly as sweet.
The very fact that there is a thing in the world called "sugar cream pie" makes my heart sing.

That international program sounds pretty great to me, Barb. I want to go to Australia.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I spent the summer in France on a similar program when I was 12. LOVED it.

Thank doG. A 2008 newspaper article said a kid's 19 day trip to Australia, Fiji and NZ was over $8,000.
Whoa-- except on second glance, that's for the high school aged kids and according to the website is 22 days.
Journey Through the South Pacific 22 days-- Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji
The grade school age kids are limited to just Australia and fifteen days.

Cool-- if I have more questions, once I talk to Lewis and he gets over the WTF!! I'll email you.

I went to the High School in Israel program when I was sixteen. Lewis and I often joke about the fact that the Catholic girl went to Israel and the Jewish boy went to the Vatican.

Cash, do you bring the cream to a scald or just very hot?
And look what just came down the pike: J.K. Rowling wins copyright claim
Rowling and Warner Bros., maker of the Harry Potter films and owner of intellectual property rights to the Potter books and movies, sued Michigan-based RDR Books last year to stop publication of material from the Harry Potter Lexicon Web site. Vander Ark, a former school librarian, runs the site, which is a guide to the seven Potter books and includes detailed descriptions of characters, creatures, spells and potions.
The small publisher was not contesting that the lexicon infringes upon Rowling's copyright but argued that it was a fair use allowable by law for reference books. In his ruling, Patterson noted that reference materials are generally useful to the public but that in this case, Vander Ark went too far.
"While the lexicon, in its current state, is not a fair use of the Harry Potter works, reference works that share the lexicon's purpose of aiding readers of literature generally should be encouraged rather than stifled," he said.
He added that he ruled in Rowling's favor because the "Lexicon appropriates too much of Rowling's creative work for its purposes as a reference guide."
Be interesting to see the ramifications of this.
