I feel the exact same about seeing all her photos too. When we were there, she was going to show them to us (what she had so far) but we ran out of time as we did SOOOO much with her in the three days we had with her as she had mapped out our entire itinerary for our time in Florence (and we all went to other places in Tuscany) with her and then for our time in Paris without her (she has been to Paris four times including twice in the past few months). So, the pictures have to wait until she gets home which is in about 3 weeks. She has traveled a great deal this semester but also over the summer (let alone in the past) and even though she will call and say how fantastic each place is, she'll rave about the next place. She was just in Lausanne, Switzerland a few days ago and said it was one of the prettiest places she had ever seen and she has truly seen so many places. She is even going to be skiing in the Alps in about ten days and did so in August too. We even brought her her ski helmet when we were just there, LOL. While my D hasn't spent time in London on this trip (though has been there before), she was passing through on a plane connection between Amsterdam and Paris recently and had a long layover so she took the train into the city and walked around, particuarly the theater district and the Old Globe Theater (while she is not studying theater, she has done a lot of theater and is into it too). I can't even name all the places she has been in the past five months, lol. What a life. I'm glad our girls had this experience. While my D is pretty fluent in French, I couldn't believe how much Italian she had learned in three months.

OK, back to summer programs (but this diversion is the tip of the iceberg in terms of doing programs abroad).
