Every two years, Superior teacher Jeff Schultz organizes an unforgettable European tour for students and locals touring different countries.

Currently, they are in the British Isles over spring break. 

“We are on the Scotland, England, Ireland trip. It is 12 days and has 41 travelers to include 25 students from grades 9 through 12,” he wrote. “We have had a great time learning about the history of the British Isles. From castles to cathedrals, we have walked through a Time Machine starting with Stonehenge all the way to Big Ben and the current royal family. The food has been amazing as well. The UK has so much diversity due to the British empire.” 

This report and pictures were received Thursday, March 26 and everyone was expected home before the end of March.

    The round turret is of Windsor castle is the largest continuously lived in castle. The king lives there on weekends and during the summer. It was amazing. It truly is huge! Best part was seeing all of the gifts that different countries and empires had given the royal family over the past several hundred years.
 
 
    The show we went to in downtown London called "Mamma Mia." They did a great job with the theatrical performance!
 
 
    Stonehenge. How on earth did humans move rocks that big 5,000 years ago? They got the stones from 250 km away too. They think it took them 9 months and 500 people per stone!
