European Interterm Trip!


The joys of Interterm often involve a trek to an educational local where the learning process seeps into every head turn, step, and conversation.  This year there will be three groups adventuring beyond our campus walls to visit the outside world.  Today we will be looking at the first group and a trip to Europe.  They will be studying photography, music, and literature.

This team of seven students and one faculty member will make their way to Ireland.  They will spend 3 days touring the land and visiting C.S. Lewis’ home.  They will be learning about him, his writings, and his life.  It will be an exciting time exploring Ireland and the man, who brought us the Chronicles of Narnia and so much more.  It is said that much of Narnia’s description is taken from around the island, so it could be said the students are really visiting Narnia without the convenience of walking through a wardrobe.

The team will then cross the channel and arrive in Whales.  They will make their way to London and eventually Oxford spending a total of seven days.  They will see the amazing museums London has to offer and visit part of Oxford.  While in London they will also have the joy of getting to see Phantom of the Opera in the West End. This will prove to be an exciting leg of the journey.

The team will finally make their way to Paris. They will have two to three days to explore this amazing city.  The highlight of this portion of the trip will definitely be there time at the Louvre.  Many of us only read about or see pictures of the famous artworks contained in this building, but for these lucky students they will see the works first hand.  It will be a trip to remember.
