They took an EF trip with two teachers and another accompanied adult to Europe, visiting three different countries in 10 days- England, France, and Rome! This pic was taken at one of the highlights stops for the students on this unforgettable trip, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. We had three days of sunshine and the rest were rainy, dreary and sometimes cold days but we didn't let that dampen our hearty Newfoundland spirits! We had a ball! ... Hide full submission

We couldn't leave the island without some reminders of home and a good read of what gracious land we live on back home. We got a few questions here and there of the magazines we had with us on the plane, the bus, and the beach. We explained this is our local WHATS ON THE GO. (We got a few looks and laughs.) Others were interested in this little colourful magazine we kept under our wing. Thank you Downhome for giving us a good, interesting read that we look forward to every issue! ...

Two on Cotopaxi

Paul Delaney on top of Cotopaxi Volcano (5897 m) on Friday, November 13, 2009. The volcano is capped with a permanent glacier from about the 5000 m level. The main vent of this perfectly formed, active, stratovolcano is behind, and there is some fumarolic activity to be seen as wispy white vapours on either side of me, as the volcano is starting to show some activity again.

Next morning was even worse with extreme winds to add to the morning chill. Took eight days from Lukla and three more to return. Photo by Dowa, our porter/guide.
