PARIS - April 2008

In 2001, we toured England - London, Stonehenge, Brighton, Bath, Shakespeare's Stratford, and more.  In April of 2002, students from CHS were serenaded by gondoliers in Venice, granted wishes (we hope) at the Trevi fountain in Rome, struck speechless by The Last Supper in  Milan, and moved by the Sistine Chapel at Vatican City.  In April of 2004, we  climbed the Eiffel Tour, toured museums, and sampled PLENTY of French cuisine as we toured Paris and London.  In 2005, we returned to Italia, visiting Florence and Rome again - so our Trevi wishes from 2002 DID come true!  Our 2006 tour led us to Scotland, home of Nessie, St. Andrews, and some of the most breathtaking scenery we had ever seen.  

In April 2008, Mrs. Girvan and Mr. Cunningham will again lead a tour - this time to Paris.   For this visit, we've designed our own tour, and if we do say so ourselves, it's pretty wonderful.  If you'd like to know how you can join us, see me in C3 or e-mail me (kgirvan@adelphia.net).  Click on the link below to find out more about the trip and the tour company we use.  Under "Join a Group" type GIRVAN-9810 in the tour center code box.
