@PetePanda Thanks, sir. You're welcome.

We just returned from Heathrow and snowy London. Happy St. Patrick's Day. It's the only day of the year I use my real Irish family name: David Paul O'Saikaley. My late granny Christina Mary Sutton insisted on it!!

@mwvottawa You're welcome. We all enjoyed the memorable times we had with the students. None of us will forget this trip...which a first for many---students and teachers alike.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

First stop after landing from Heathrow. I wonder how many others....?

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

At Heathrow waiting to board for home.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

Leaving for home after another successful March Break trip. Bravo CHS students.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

@PetePanda My pleasure...having great fun with the students.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

Tomorrow will be insane for the students...insane in a good way. Westminster Abbey first up, then Canada House to meet the Consul General, followed by shopping and the Imperial War Museum...and finally the Tower of London. All topped off with Fish and Chips. Whew.

Hard Rock London.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

Canterbury Cathedral yesterday. A holy place for a few thousand years. Pretty little town, too!

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

Bus tour 'round London this morning....some other treats, like the Millennium Wheel, and dinner at Hard Rock Cafe this evening.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

We have made it to England...safely. On our way to Canterbury.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

Well, we say goodbye to the European continent shortly as we make our way to the Chunnel and England. First stop: Canterbury Cathedral.

[DPS2018 @dps2018]

On a visit to Ypres today....amidst the visiting of the town and surrounding historical sites, CHS squad were treated to specials in Belgian chocolate shops. They were SO happy. Great day in all ways! Thanks CHS squad.
