Tracing the Odyssey on the way to Italy...

So the ferry boat's wifi is up and working now and several students bought access. The views leaving Greece were spectacular - a beautiful goodbye to a country we enjoyed so much! We just passed by an area of the Mediterranean that came up listed on our gps as Ithaca... Which launched a few of our students into discussions of Odysseus' journey in The Odyssey.

it is nearly 10:30pm here now and the students are turning in to bed - or at least the few who are still awake.... Although the pool was closed for the season on the ship, the kids found good old fashioned ways to connect and wandered out to the decks to appreciate the beauty of the islands and the sea.
