Several of our teachers wanted to share their travels this summer. Here are a few so far and we hope to be adding to this post as more pictures come in.<\/p>\n

\"Library<\/p>\n

I took a group of nine students to Europe for three weeks this summer. We toured London, Paris, Lucerne, Florence, Rome, Pompeii, Delphi, Athens, and took a Greek Island cruise. While on the cruise we toured Ancient Ephesus in Kusadasi, Turkey. This is a picture of the Ancient Library of Celsus<\/a> in Ephesus, Turkey which was constructed in 125 A.D and was one of the largest libraries of the ancient world. The site is currently only about 20% excavated. Interestingly enough the town brothel was located directly across from the library. (Gunnels)<\/p>\n

\"St.<\/p>\n

St. Basil\u2019s Cathedral<\/a> in Red Square, Moscow. (Spalding)<\/p>\n

\"Eiffel<\/p>\n

Eiffel Tower<\/a>, Paris. (Spalding)<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/p>\n

2 days a week we had the open air market called a \u201cshuk\u201d. \u00a0The produce was fresh and more people frequented the market than the grocery store. \u00a0It was also a nice way to meet your neighbors. (Ostroff)<\/p>\n

\"Kiryat<\/p>\n

This is either a picture of me looking for my contact lens or…. I am mixing cement and putting them in buckets for the kids at the elementary school in Kiryat Malachi<\/a> (City of Angels) in Israel. \u00a0We put the cement over recycled tires filled with recycled plastic soda bottles to make benches for the playground. \u00a0That is my story and I’m sticking to it. \u00a0The kids and their families are immigrants from Ethiopia, Moracco, and the Soviet Union. \u00a0(Ostroff)<\/p>\n

\"Taos<\/p>\n

This summer, I traveled through New Mexico and visited the approximately 1,000 year old Taos Pueblo<\/a>. \u00a0 It was my first visit and it won’t be my last! (Bonati)<\/p>\n

\"Rio<\/p>\n

These are two of the fours beaches in my neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. This summer I walked on the sand of the beach on the right many days, listening to my Ipod and enjoying the breeze from the ocean. (Parsons)<\/p>\n

\"Coba\"<\/p>\n

I went to the Mayan Riviera area, near Cancun, with my sister. This photo is from the top of the pyramid in Cob\u00e1<\/a>, with a view of the lush plains typical of the Yucat\u00e1n peninsula. (Cortes)<\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/p>\n

This is a picture of the Grand Mosque<\/a> in Djenne, Mali. It was originally built in the Middle Ages, and is the largest mud structure in the world. (Randy Spalding)<\/p>\n

\"Lava<\/p>\n

I went to West Central Utah with my sister and her family to go fossil hunting & rock hounding in July. We found trilobites, a fossilized water mark, amonites, braciopods, fossilized coral, agate, Apache tear, obsidian, and sunstone. We traveled across 10-24 million year old lava flows, the Bonneville salt flats, and Crystal Mountain. We saw 6 extinct volcanoes, prong-horn antelope, lizards, jack rabbits and a Pony Express route marker. We came back with over 400 samples of fossils & rocks.
