Hello all!
Well, this past week has been a busy one for traveling. I went to Bruges, Belgium with the whole school for their remembrance day ceremony and to visit World War I sites. We flew into Brussels on the Tuesday and then took a bus to our hotel in Bruges. That afternoon, we took a walking tour of Bruges and went to a local restaurant for dinner. The next day, we went to Ypres for the Remembrance Day ceremony, which was really good. There was a parade and then the actual ceremony at Menin gate. Afterwards, we went to Menin gate and looked at that, and then left the area to tour some areas of importance with regards to WWI. We went to different Canadian graveyards and to Passendale. The next day we took a bus ride to Vimy Ridge which was beautiful and went to the monument which was incredible. It's huge in size and really artfully done. We spent some time taking pictures and taking the whole thing in, and then got back on the bus. Our next stop was the Newfoundland monument and another tour of the landscape. Overall it was an amazing trip and really interesting because I didn't have much knowledge of WWI before that point, which inspired me to learn more about it!
