Tuesday, March 2 - Salsaed, Mamboed, & Boogied

Our Tickets for Wednesday's Soccer Game Have Arrived!

Well, we hope we don’t have too many stairs to climb tomorrow, because after two hours of biking, spin classes, aerobic dance class and weight lifting, we’ll be lucky if we can walk let alone do stairs. Mrs. Mac has proven she has style and moves when she salsaed, mamboed and boogied her way to way to a sleeker version of herself! The fitness centre we visited was a lot of fun. No pain no gain as they say!

We started our day working on finishing up projects and starting the student blogs. Different groups are responsible for different days of the trip so far. It will be interesting to read the students’ perspective of what has been an amazing 3 day start. We also discussed Van Gogh, his life and work so the students would better appreciate the museum visit tomorrow. Watching Don MacLean’s “Vincent” with a slide show of Van Gogh’s painting s always brings goose bumps.

The students are starting to feel the effects of jet leg so they are all planning a quiet night so they can get lots of rest for tomorrow’s nonstop action in Amsterdam. The museums will be beautiful, and the soccer game and experience they will never forget. We will be wearing Dutch orange proudly.

This group of kids is wonderful ambassadors from Canada. Their maturity, politeness and sense of adventure are to be commended. Our Dutch hosts are doing a wonderful of sharing their beautiful country. We are being treated like royalty!

It was 10 degrees and sunny here today, but somehow I don’t think you can say the same. Hope everyone is plowed out with power running. I’ll leave you with a little Vanilla Ice tune……Ice Ice Baby…….

Until tomorrow….Mrs. Mac
