He kep a jou r nal during the trip, and wishes to share some o f the highlights.) Day one: We were in the a ir p o rt m o s t o f th e day. While waiting in Portland for the rest o f the Pordand del egation, I got to know my fellow Central O regon del egates .... Flew to Newark. We had a six hour layover plus our flight was delayed two hours. It was fun having the w indow over the ocean; I took some pictures while the sun was rising. Day two: O ur first day o f the trip for learning som e thing. We m et the California group. T here were a lot o f them. G o t along really well. We went to H am pton C ourt Palace. Lots o f gardens and flowers. F or every garden there were at least 20 differ ent types o f flowers. There were also lots o f statues. Be fore going into the palace we went into maze and we all got lost for a while. In the palace there were a lot o f tunnels and rooms. Day three: We got to see the Changing o f the Guard at Buckingham Palace. The hats that the guard wear are made o f pure bearskin. They stand guard 24-hours until the next guard is ready. Day four: We drove around London looking at all the fam ous and infam ous buildings. We had a great view o f the City o f London while riding the London Eye. I took a great picture o f the Big Ben. After the tour we went to a college to hear a speech from a form er Parliam ent member. Day five: We w ere in Normandy, where the storm ing o f O m aha Beach h ap pened. Reading all the survi vors stories was really shock ing. This turned the tide o f the war. The nice beaches we see today were once a bloody batde field... Day six: We went to the Louvre Museum, where I got man card game. The girl was pretty good. I taught them the game Speed. The girl caught on quick and was a champion. T he boy was also good. I thought they m ust work at a casino. Day fourteen: Went with th e boy to the village for some shopping so we could go to his grandmother’s birth day__ After lunch we headed out to the next village to see their grandm a. T he village was old and small, with ev erything close together. I met the family. They were Very good at football (soccer). I show ed them how- to play basketball. They loved it. I enjoyed meeting the family. (To be continued.) to see a sight I ’ve always wanted to see, the Mona Lisa. After the museum we w ent over to. th e E iffel Tower, awesome. I took the stairs to the top, losing 20 pounds. I gained it all back at dinner, though. Day seven: I ’ve b een gone for a Week and I barely think o f home. The only thing that reminded was when they told us to call home. Took a tour o f Paris. We saw people celebrating the Fourth o f July in fro n t o f th e A m erican Em bassy. We all sang the National Anthem. It sounded terrible but we didn’t care. It was a fun time in Paris.
