Trip to Santa Cruz

Sunday, we had our final excursion to the coast.  We arrived at Santa Cruz, took a self-guided tour of the beautiful UC-Santa Cruz campus.  The students checked out the nature trails and unique architecture.  It was a sharp contrast to the other campuses they had visited so far.  A few of us visited the mission church in the town of Santa Cruz.  We all had a picnic lunch and spent the afternoon enjoying the boardwalk and beach.  We took the scenic route home on  Hwy 101.  The weather has been spectacular so far - not one rainy day! The evening was spent finishing their Language / Culture and UN projects and sharing photos.  As the program winds down, the students are busy finishing up their projects which they will present tomorrow. 

Today, we had a guest speaker, Rachel Melia, who enlightened the students on social media marketing.  We had a lively afternoon of language and culture presentations, including Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Hindu, and Latin.




















































Tomorrow is another full day as we prepare for our departure Wednesday.
