The Sweetest Goodbye

WOW! The best word to be able to describe the light-up of the Eiffel Tower at night in Paris.
To create a perfect ending to a fantastic Western Front Field School, as a group we had an evening picnic on the grounds of the famous French Monument. It was a beautiful night.
On the menu were some sugar crepes, warm brownies, french pastries and a pink mystery pate from S. Davies' Greek Meal.
The pinnacle of my evening was when the Eiffel Tower began to sparkle. It felt nearly magical, and I have tons of photos!!!
It was the perfect goodbye, as everyone was to part their ways the following morning, bright and early. We have become almost like a family over the past 3 weeks, it will be sad to see them all go. We have been on so many different adventures, learning something new everyday, and expressing so many different emotions. This field school of the Western Front has been an epic journey into the past and present. I personally can't wait to share my new knowledge and experiences with my family, friends and future students.
