Gone to Europe in 4 days!!

So I am counting down the last days before I go to Europe with a big group of students and teachers from my school. It's going to be an amazing trip for sure. I can't wait to see all of the historical sites of where the soldiers fought during WWI and WWII. I'll be there for 8 days and get to celebrate my b-day (the 17th) in Paris. First time in a different continent too. :D

So you guys won't hear from me come the 9th unless I pop into an internet cafe or something during one of the shopping breaks lol.
 
Sounds like fun matey, hope you have a good time. O its been raining for the last couple of days, so bring some good clothing, your gonna need it!
 
Being a Canadian you will more than likely visit Vimy Canadian Battlefield Memorial. It's a very sombre place when you see how many died over the 4 years of the Great war 1914-18.

Commonwealth Graveyards scatter the area around the front line, if you visit some sign the book that is at the entrance to each graveyard.

Awesome dude!

Im hope you have really good fun!

It can be quite pretty over here, Lets hope the weathers good for ya! :D
 
Thanks guys, I've known about the trip now since it was first being planned by my history teacher last year. I've had to sit and wait for a very long time and I can't believe it's already here. It is one thing to read about this kind of thing in a textbook but to actually go and witness it will be something else.
