The End... We made it. Oh what a trip!!


It's Saturday morning March 15th.... I am having espresso withdrawal. I dig in my kitchen cupboard and dig out my old espresso pot. I add my imported Italian espresso coffee and add water. I boil it on the stove and when it's ready I pour three cups. Hot, fragrant and steaming. There is one problem though. Where are the boys? Where are Harriet and Godric? Where is the Ponte Vecchio?


We are all home now. Safe and sound. The trip has surpassed all our expectations. From the departure March 4th to our return March 14th everything was perfect. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed every moment. The economy in Italy is sure to change without our boys buying up all the Gelato and paninni's. Sorry Italy, you will have to manage without us for a while.


Congratulations to everyone who participated in this incredible journey. Our boys where ambassadors of Canada and Crescent School. Our teachers provided love and support to all the students. Rene, our tour guide was an inspiration to everyone. Sal our bus driver brought us to and from every location with expertise. Mike and Karen, our tour operator's designed a trip of a life time.


Grazie, Grazie, Grazie......Ciao Italia!
