Leftovers from Europe

Now that school is back in session, the students are asking for more cartoons — that show them. This is from one of the boys who bought just about every Swiss Army knife he could see.

Trip Scrapbook No. 2

Here's one that was drawn from real life. As we were crossing the Alps from northern Italy into Austria, one of our group (it may have been an adult chaperone...I'm not saying) was excited to see the mountains. Giddy may be a better word. And then she (or he) blurted out this line:



In case you're geographically challenged, Mount Everest is in the Himalayas.

Once we got into Switzerland, the kids wanted to shop for two things. One, chocolate (d-uh!). And two, they wanted to grab some Swiss Army knives. One gal was very excited about her new purchase. So excited that she turned off her brain and sliced open her arm. Luckily we were prepared for such an emergency, and it wasn't as bad as it could have been. Nevertheless, one of our group will have a permanent reminder of our stay in Lucerne!
