Thousands of Photos, a bag full of souveners and a heart full of memories. These are the things I will carry home with me in a few days. I find myself counting down the moments tell I will see my girls again. I have the most beauitfull daughters and a provencial life at home that I have grown to miss and appreciate like I have never done before. This is the greatest gift that such a journey could have possibly bestowed on me. Even mopping floors and cleaning house will be so much more satisfying because of the things I have experienced here in the Czech republic. It may seem like a crazy thing to say, but without sounding like a spoiled american it would be impossible to explain why it is true.

I have seen many of the art masterpeices of the great artists of the ages but I miss the beauty of my little girl’s smile. I have had more unintrupted time to compleet homework than I ever get at home but I’m missing those little people begging me to go outside and jump on the trampoleen with them or ride bikes or play games. I have only had a small cold dorm to sleep and keep my things in so going home to my house and warm weather actually sounds nice! I have loved every minuet of this adventure (even the small dorm– less to clean!) but now its time to go home and I am glad.

Lynette McGraw

Hello, my name is Lynette McGraw and I am so excited to be going to Prague in the Czech Republic! Iโ€™ve always wanted to do something like study abroad, however I never thought it was a possible. Especially after โ€œgrowing upโ€ and having a family. I had never heart of a married couple going on a study abroad trip. Thanks to someone who visited one of my college classes this is now a reality and I plan to do the same thing for others. I will particularly emphasize that this is not just for the first time student or those who can afford to pay the full cost themselves. We chose the Czech Republic for a number of reasons. One was that the Art and Architecture of the city was virtually untouched by WWII. That fact makes it a perfect location for both Art History and Photography which we are both taking this summer. I hope to set up a photography studio soon and these classes will be a great preparation for this.
