Day 3 of the Geography trip was hot! The views from the top of mount Vesuvius were stunning despite pesky bugs. Then Herculaneum was fascinating to see how Romans lived. The buildings were so well preserved. A great finish to the day for some with the CDS hotel pool Olympics!

Day 2 in the Azores: early start but no Whales due to sea conditions. The team battled through the rain to the caldera of Sete Citades and picnic. Awesome creativity on the black sand beaches and then into the lava tubes of Ponta Delgada to finish!
