The travel club returned safely from Italy on the evening of March 29. They were greeted by a group of excited parents. They reported that they had a great trip and had only one rainy day when they were in Capri. They had seen Vatican City, the Swiss Alps, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the ruins in Pompeii, the Roman Coliseum and taken a gondola ride down a canal in Venice.
The group experienced new food, met new people and experienced new cultures. The trip provided many opportunities and they saw many world famous landmarks.
