The Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsch) cultures of Southeastern Pennsylvania are fascinating people who came from Germany. They are both "Plain and Fancy" and have lived together since the early 1700s.  Plain people, Amish and Mennonite, shun modern conveniences and farm without electricity and can be seen in traveling in their horse and buggies.  Fancy people have large red barns decorated with colorful "hex signs."  Join your teacher for a fascinating journey through the art, food, culture and language of her home.

Have you thought about travelling in Europe on your own, rather than taking a tour bus, and having staff carry your bags and telling you 'when to get back on the bus', but didn't know what to expect or how to get started?

Come along with us as we journey to London, Belgium and France using cars, planes, trains, metros, and our feet.
