Visitors

Our first visitors were here for the week. They arrived to a storm but we had a few days of good weather during the second half of the week. We walked in the woods behind the campus, spent a bit of time walking on the beach - the best two things were a trip to the Big Basin national park in the Santa Cruz mountains - and a day in San Francisco before returning to the airport.

School Projects

My school in Brighton is learning about the World War II and my class went on a trip to learn about evacuation.
