We have heard from some other courses.

The Australia Ecotourism Course reports:

The China Course reports:
We are safe in China.

The Ghana Course reports:
We arrived in Ghana. We are getting ready to head for Ho, in the Volta region; will be there until Monday evening. Miadogo, Togbe Dake.

The Barbados Course reports:
We arrived safely.

The Italy Fine Arts Course reports:
We arrived safely in Italy.

We finally found an internet place that was working. We spent today at the colliseum and forum and except for getting a little lost around town things seem to be going smoothly. Tarquinia yesterday was a little more of a challenge. The driver dropped us off at the Necropoli saying that the museum was across the street and a short walk down the block. Thirty minutes later we found the museum clear across town. Tomorrow we are going to visit the Vatican.

The Peru Heritage Course reports:
We arrived in Lima safely. We will begin our exploration of Lima city in the morning.

The Hawaii Course reports:
We are safe in Hawaii.
This morning 18 of us gathered at 6:00 am and hiked up Diamond Head to watch the sun rise (see picture). As always, a pretty spectacular way to ring in the new day.

Following sun rise, we boarded a bus and headed to the University of Hawaii - Manoa. At the university we will be learning about Hawaiian history and the realities faced by modern day Hawaiians as they work to reclaim their culture. It will be a great day!



The New Zealand Business Course reports:
We have arrived safely in Auckland with all 30 people. Everything is good.

The South Africa Course reports:
We have safely reached South Africa but unfortunately we do not have access to email so we cannot post to our blog.

The Guatemala Course reports:
All have arrived in Guatemala. There was a mild earthquake in Guatemala, but all of us are ok and it isn’t interfering with business as usual.
