Halfway there: highlights so far

Westmont Europe Semester 2009 was officially half over on Thursday of this week, which means we're now on the downhill side. I'm stunned at how fast it's gone so far, and it's both a relief and a disappointment to think that I really will be back in the U.S. before I know it.

Here are some of my best memories of the semester so far. I'm sure there are many more to come.

Seeing great new cities.

Seeing excellent theater.

Sharing meals in exciting places, such as the banks of the Seine.

Boat rides. Lots and lots of boat rides.

Celebrating Christmas early with our host family in the Netherlands.

Getting to know some great new friends.
