We checked in our crew of Parisian travelers last night.  This year our group of 5th graders is 66 students strong and they are all in great spirits.  We arrived at the center in the evening and the kids were in their PJs getting ready for bed, blogging, sharing stories.  The teachers were roaming the halls, laptops in hand, going from room to room and getting input from their students before posting the day's events for parents on-line.

A first day through the metro, in their Parisian school, visiting museums and sights... a big adventure... and music to my ears... echoes of debriefing in the bedrooms and silly talk in our target language : French :-)
