Its a city created like a maze filled Warm Wea ther wandering in vacationland With school out and summer begin- ning, many students headed out of state for vacation. Some roamed the beaches while others experienced a dif- ferent type of vacation. The following people took the kind of vacation that could only happen once in a lifetime. 1-A While some vacationers headed for the sunny beaches of Florida, others pre- ferred the more subtle and private sur- roundings of the Caribbean. Missy Smith, senior, spent the first week of june swimming and snorkeling in the clear waters off the island of St. john in the Virgin Islands. Aside from water activities, Missy and her family took time out to shop on St. lohn's brother island, St. Thomas. Ac- cording to Missy, St. john had very few places to shop, but there were many shops on St. Thomas, however, these were very expensive. Missy's menu included an extreme amount of seafood, such as shrimp, clams, crab and lobster, plus some origi- nal meals starting with strawberry soup. Missy had never been to the Virgin ls- lands before last summer. She and her family stayed in a cabin by the ocean. The cabin was situated near the center of the village in the business area.

Experiencing a new life in a foreign country brings a challenge to the aver- age American. Diane Clay, senior, met this challenge last summer when she toured Europe. Starting on june 19, Clay, along with her sister and brother-in-law, began their journey in England. They ventured through Belgium, France, Switzerland, the French Riviera, Italy and Germany before ending their journey in England near the end of August. Clay's group traveled mainly by car. At the end of the day, the group would set up camp outside of town. In this man- ner, hotel expenses were cut, so that the travelers were able to see more of Eu- rope. Clay visited Europe two years ago, touring mainly through England. I liked this trip better because I was older and I saw more. Also, this time I went in the summer, Clay said. Although most of Clay's time was spent sightseeing and touring museums, such as the Louvre in Paris, she ate two of her meals at an average American res- taurant: McDonalds. One McDonald's was in Germany and the other one in England. Although the food prices were much higher than in the U.S., there was little difference in taste. One of the places that Diane Clay visited on her trip to Europe was Picadilly Circus in London, England.
