Here is our intrepid cohort from the tour group getting ready to board the ferry from Portsmouth to the French coast.  Our fearless leader Judy is making sure that we’re all here. No one has wandered off in search of Great Bustards. Sharon and Yang blush here.We leave Portsmouth behind.

Sharon, the photos of Normandy are incredible. It sounds like an amazing trip. Plus, the entire blog is extremely impressive and informative. Good job. You have talents I don’t possess. Thanks for sharing so much.

Roz,
I’m so glad that you like the site. It was really fun to put together – once I figured out what I was doing. I always swore that I would never blog, but here I go. The trip was amazing! I give a huge amount of credit to Judy Jeon-Chapman at our school for connecting us with EF Tours. I’m going to add another blog on our trip to an arboretum in China. it turns out that Ning used to hang out here all the time when he was a kid. This is the place we saw “Satan’s Squirrels,” aka European Red Squirrels – although these were black. Go figure!
