Ready for the next adventure . . .

Welcome!  I hope that you are able to join me on my latest adventure as I travel along the Rhine River from Amsterdam to Basel.  I will share my experiences, my thoughts, and hopefully several lovely pictures and maybe a video or two along the way.

I will be traveling on a river cruise that will dock and provide me with the opportunity to visit many remarkable places including UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  UNESCO stands for the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization and it works to preserve socially significant sites throughout the world.  There are sites listed from around the world.  You can find additional information at http://whc.unesco.org/en/list.

I will visit windmills in Kinderijk, Cologne's Dom gothic cathedral, Heidelberg University, and the Black Forest near Breisach.  I will storm Marksburg Castle, a medieval fortress near Koblenz, Germany.  I will enter the European Parliament in Strasbourg, Germany.  I hope to see the temporary home of Anna Frank in Amsterdam and the Romanesque Cathedral at Speyer.

As I prepare for the last day of school tomorrow, I look forward to continuing to reach my students by sharing this experience with them.  Please feel free to communicate with me along the way as I take this opportunity to expand beyond my classroom walls.
