Foreign Break? Where were you during spring break? At the beach? Or skiing in Colorado? Or participating in a wedding? Or just sleeping your life away? While you were at home doing all the things you had planned to do since Christmas break, some of your Classmates were taking aonce-in-a-lifetime opportu- nity to spend their Easter break in a foreign country — England. On March 28, 25 rambunc- tious students and their three brave chaperones headed towards Norfolk In- temational Ainoort to catch their plane to Boston and begin their England adven- ture. After connecting in Boston with their 747 flight, that neither crashed, nor was hijacked, nor lost its pilot, the group landed safely at their destination. Here the adven- ture began. After they met the other students involved in the tour the group began to explore the many historical sights that were offered. The scheduled tour included many of the traditional places such as Big Ben, Parliament, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. The group also visited the Canterbury Cathedral and viewed the blood-stained stone which bore witness to the murder of Thomas a Becket by King Henry ll. Going back to the time of the Romans, the students toured the Roman baths and puzzled over the meaning behind the crea- tion of Stonehenge. The students returned home after more than a week of touring the beautiful sights of England, arriving at Norfolk Intemational Airport with a severe case of jet lag, souvenirs, rolls upon rolls of film, and memories to last a lifetime. 24 England Trip While waiting for the others to arrive, Pam Craig, Kelly Travis, Barbara Moore, Anne Forrest, and Kevin Forrest relaxed at the Gatwick Airport.
