“I really enjoyed the afternoon class. I had a great time interacting with teachers and students who were not involved in the morning classes. I especially enjoyed the museum, biking in the park, and mini golf.”
“I missed seeing the pictures of the visit to the park and the museum. It's a pity they were not up on the blog and I couldn't see them.”
