Eisenhower. They had the opportunity to visit, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland.
Each one of the 40 students (from Montana and North Dakota) spent three days with their own host family in Germany. This provided both a cultural and educational experience, including going to school with the host family's child to a German school.
Other events included meeting a British Member of Parliament, visiting the Tower of London, riding the London Eye, visiting the War Memorial Museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Palace Versailles, Menin Gate memorial, the International Court of Justice, the home of Anne Frank, the Black Forest, river rafting on the River Inn as well as many other exciting adventures.
