We are Home!!!!!!

We are home!!!

We were able to get a head start on our jet lag by sleeping
in this morning. Some people departed early to continue their European
travels.We loaded Hugo's bus for the last time and headed to the Amsterdam Airport. After clearing security, we ate lunch and headed for our gate. The flight to London went very smooth, lasting only 48 minutes. The security in Heathrow took a little while to clear, but we
had time to spare and everyone made it to the plane.

The eight hour flight home went by quickly with the help of
lots of new movies and two meals. The US Border Patrol allowed all of us to
re-enter as everyone was quick to get out their cell phones to check for next
texts and call the parents.

The Northerners said their good byes and the down staters boarded the bus to head back to Champaign.

Everyone got more out of the trip than they ever would have
imagined. We all had a blast touring plants, experiencing cultures and meeting
all kinds of people. We owe many thanks to our sponsors and Meredith, Richard
and Andrea.
