What a fantastic trip! I was fortunate on Friday that we had no delays and our flight from Brussels to Dulles was uneventful. They have stepped up security at Brussels in a big way. Not only did the bus have to drop us off a good 2 miles away from the airport, but there were Military positioned along the way inspecting us closely as we wheeled our luggage toward the airport. Before even getting our Boarding Passes we were subjected to a 20 question interrogation. Then after getting Boarding passes and checking bags we were questioned again and went through security. After our 8 hour flight we went through passport control and customs. I was happy to do all of it!
My only delay was on the DC Metro. I took the Silver Line to the Green Line and we had several delays. I finally made it my family in Maryland in time for dinner!
On Saturday I got some rest and went into DC to see some of the monuments. We finally made the drive home on Sunday and were back on Maine on Sunday night.
The trip was simply amazing and I'm already thinking about how I can bring this back to my students and how our work telling the stories of Fallen Heroes has just begun. Thanks for following along on my journey! Ciao!
