Here I
am, in JFK, watching our students playing cards, reading books, wandering
around, and generally having a lot of fun.
The morning ran smoothly, especially if you love people watching and
getting to know a lot of new WYSO members.
This is my second time as a chaperone for the international tour, and I
absolutely love experiencing all this through our students' eyes. As is normal, we had many nervous stomachs
this morning, but all are gaining confidence and trust with every passing
moment.
While things
have gone well thus far, I must admit that a six hour layover at JFK with 70
high school students would wear on anyone!
But they're doing great - keeping entertained and taking turns wandering
and watching stuff. The chaperones and
staff are coping well, too - a little of our own comraderie is helping the time
to pass more quickly.
Just a
few hours to go until we board, and then on to Buenos Aires. Sleep well everyone, and hope we all do, too!
