One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to CERN, the largest science and research complex in the world, and home to the Large Hadron Collider, the particle accelerator that they used to find the Higgs boson.
For science geeks, it was amazing.
The LHC was undergoing maintenance, so our group was able to go down (30 stories down) to see it up close and in person. It was unbelievable. Our science teacher was over the top!
The LHC will start up again in September, so we were one of the last groups that could actually see it. A once in a lifetime experience!
