Day 4 :: Photo Blog - Big Stones in Various Forms



First stop Salisbury Cathedral, it has the tallest cathedral spire in England.




Inside of the cathedral. The red ladders are one of the rotating art pieces featured in the cathedral. 


The oldest working clock, it goes off every hour.


The group looking at some of the retired flags in the cathedral. (The closest flag is the oldest, farthest flag in the photo is the newest.)



Baptizing fountain in the cathedral. The water is flowing but it is designed to have a flat, smooth, and reflective surface. 



Entering Stonehenge, the teachers had to wear vests. 


We made it!





Stonehenge photo compilation.


Taking some photos.  


Highway view of Stonehenge, bye!


Hello Windsor Castle!


3D model of Windsor, it's huge. 


The Royal Family's flag is up in this photo, that means the Queen is here! Lucky us! (One staff member told us she had only seen the changing of the flags a couple times during the five years that she has worked there. We got to see that too!)


Group photo with one of the towers and the Royal Family Flag. 


More castle, one a portion of the castle.


Bye Windsor Castle!

Final Reflection - Morgann

I have dreamed about going to London for so long. I have listened to my family members talk about what their life was like when they lived there. Mainly they talked about walking everywhere, patting down dresses for bombs, dreary weather, smoking, pubs, and being near other relatives. However, I never got to know what the city was actually like. I was shocked by how everything was so close together and how efficient the public transportation system was. When I got home I probably talked about the tube for a solid 30 minutes. I never really mastered the tube map but I did enjoy trying to learn it. Using the public transport was great because it allowed us to see the everyday commute. In the afternoons all the busses and tubes get very stuffed with people, imagine a sardine can, but double the amount of sardines in the can. We also walked a tone, members with fitbits told use that we often walked six to seven miles on average. I have never felt healthier than during the trip due to more...

Final Reflection - George

London Final Reflection I remember when this trip was announced, everyone wanted to be a part of it. I was surprised to discover I was one of the twelve people selected to go to London. The many following meeting and planning only furthered my excitement and anticipation. I couldn’t actually comprehend that I was going on an international school trip to London , one of the biggest, most diverse, and history rich cities in the world. Even now, sitting in my room on the day before we go back home, I still can’t fully comprehend the fact that I am currently here. The first 34 hours of this trip were absolutely mind-numbing, but not in the bad way. Stepping out onto the streets of London after an eight hour flight was honestly probably too much for my brain to process. The long string of events after landing each contributed to an aspect of this trip that I would eventually find to be running motifs: housekeeping & maintenance, group travel & transportation, and exploring ...

Final Reflection - Arwa

The opportunity of traveling to London along with my classmates and teachers for 10 days was a greatly significant experience for me. Even through such a short time, it helped me widen my knowledge of the city, and develop my identity and independence as an individual. Through our journey throughout London, I grew to understand the deeper meaning and connection throughout all of the landmarks, buildings, etc. that we visited every single day until we left. One of the most important parts and benefits of this trip was education, and the knowledge gained, but what I think was also equally as important was that spending 10 days consecutively with the same exact people, helped getting you closer to some of your classmates that you might've never even talked to before at school, but by going on this trip you were able to talk to them and find out things about them that you never even knew before, and you were able to get this type of chance by going on this trip. For these reasons, th...
