Teachers Tim Hall and Mike Hoeger gamely carry on the tradition started by fellow English teachers emeritus Rod Flagler and Joe Kelly some 25 years ago. This year 47 graduating seniors from Palos Verdes Peninsula High School in Rolling Hills Estates, CA will take on Europe for a month. It'll be a hoot.

The World Cup: a Tour Speil

This group of travelers is lucky to not only be in Europe during the World Cup but are fortunate that The World Cup is being hosted by Germany. Our one day in a German city, Heidelberg, was an unqualified success. Most of us hung out at Heidelberg Universitat, in the student center courtyard, where big screen TVs broadcast the Ukraine/Switzerland match and earlier, Italy/Australia. The German student-fans were vocal and enthusiastic, but we had Alex Graeber and Mike Cooke, who, as the night wore on, easily eclipsed their counterparts exhuberance.

In Brugge, Eric Haynes, Andy Cole, Billy Baron, Alex Laetsch and Alex Kramer met some British lads who taught them English Football songs and they sung them to LV and TH later that night to prove it.

In Paris, Aaron Plocky, Andy Cole, Matt Lucky, Mitchell Beck,and Victor Poon had dinner with Tim Hall at the world famous Chartier and then finished at O´Sullivans Irish pub to woatch Argentina beat Mexico.

Truly but madly,
LV
