Summer is here!

Another school year is finished here in Bend, Oregon and what does that mean? SUMMER BREAK!!! Sleeping in, floating the river, watching Oprah, vacations; and for nine high school students and two chaperones, a trip to Japan. We're only one week away from our trip and that means trying to figure out some of the details. We spent some time talking with a chaperone from the previous year last weekend to find out exactly what we were getting ourselves into; and from the sound of it we'll be embarking on an awesome adventure. We will be living with a host family while we are there for the first two weeks and then traveling to Kyoto and Tokyo. Our hope is to be able to make frequent posts, but that will be dependent on our internet and computer access while we are in Japan.
