Home Again

Hello everyone! As you know we are now back in the United States!! It feels good to be home again but I'll miss the excitement of seeing new places and all the fun times we shared. Our journey home started at 4:30am with a wake-up call (about 9:30pm in MN) from there we left for the airport at 5:30am. Once there we had plenty of time to get through security to our gate. But once we arrived in Munich it was a little more rushed but not bad. Then there was the long flight to Chicago. At Chicago things got a little more hectic what with the different customs we had to go through, getting our luggage and rechecking it, then traveling to the other side of the airport, and another security checkpoint. By that time we all just wanted to be in Minnesota. But other then that the flights went well and we arrived in MN at about 6:45pm ( about 1:45am in Rome).

Overall it was a trip full of new places, ideas, and friendships and I wouldn't trade a second of it for anything. We began the journey just short of two weeks ago and have now made it full circle. We stood in places that people have stood in for thousands of years, we visited churches that people have prayed in for thousands of years and we've come away from that with a new outlook. We were presented with new ideas and ways to look at both art and faith. We met new people and each had our own unique experience that we were able to share with a group of great people. It was an amazing experience I'm sure none of us will soon forget.
