2 weeks in Europe seems like it went so fast, and now I'm home and dont really know what to do with myself.
Surprisingly
I've now seen Paris, Arras, Lille, Bruges, Brussels, and Amsterdam along with Juno, Vimy, Ypres, and Tyne Cot. What an amazing trip. Yes, there was the tourist stuff: The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Belgian chocolate, ... the edge of the red light district in Amsterdam, but this trip was so much more than that.
We saw battefield sites that have been preserved for almost 100 years: Vimy Ridge, Beaumont Hamel, Ypres. We walked through trenches and tunnels, trying to imagine what those men had gone through. We visted memorials and cemetaries, paying our respects to the men who fought and died for the lives we live today.
It was an experience that I'll never forget.

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.
