Happy Easter to All

We have had a great day in Paris. We just ended our evening with Easter Mass at Sacre Coeur. The girls are all back at the hotel and are currently in their rooms most likely looking at the many purchases. Tomorrow we have an early start , beginning at the Louve and ending with a dinner cruise.

Good night from London

The day was just perfect in terms of weather and site seeing. The girls are all checked in for the evening and will be receiving a 5:45 am wake up call in order to leave the hotel for our final leg of the trip.. Paris.

End of day Six

We have enjoyed a full day of site seeing. The girls enjoyed trying to get the guards attention at the Palace. We also went to Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London. The Crown Jewels were impressive. 

We also spent time at the VA museum before heading to Harrods. Many iconic green shopping bags made it back to the bus. 

A few of the girls met up with Aunts and Uncles this evening and one student is seeing her Uncle perform in a play. 

I would just like to reassure you that we are safe and to thank you for your prayers and warm wishes.

goodbye Scotland

We are at our gate waiting to board .

 

update from Europe

The girls just got back from dinner and are checked into their rooms for the evening. They have enjoyed their time in Scotland... Some students are planning to apply to St. Andrews. 

I have received many emails from parents and believe I have responded to all. I want to assure you that we are safe. We will not be taking any public transportation in London or Paris. Our tour leader, Rolando is very experienced and has many friends in the cities we are visiting as well as connections at the airports. He is getting first hand information. Students safety is our first priority. 

I am asking to please not worry your daughters when you call.  

Thank you .

Ms. Quartaro
