Buckley Country Day School
Buckley Country Day School is an independent, coeducational day school providing a superior elementary education.
After 9 days, 3 countries and 5 cities we are back home safely in New York! We are so proud of our student travelers; we enjoyed looking at the world through their eyes, watching them discover the joy of traveling to different places, seeing how they become more independent and self-sufficient, and observing their friendships develop! Memories that will last a lifetime!
Day 8! Our last full day was spent perfectly! In the morning, we took a water ferry to Murano and had a tour of a studio that makes famous Murano glass, afterwards we boated over to Venice and had a tour of the Doge palace. After some time to explore the city, we went back to the hotel and had an afternoon outside with beach and pool time before our last dinner!
Day 6 - a nature day! This morning, led by 2 wonderful tour guides, we went on a three hour hike in the Julian Alps - the views were absolutely breathtaking! After lunch, we went recuperated with some swimming and water sports at Lago di Cavazzo. Tomorrow Buckley takes on Venice!
Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19, commemorates emancipation in the United States. It originated in Texas in 1865, following the Civil War, when enslaved people were declared free under the 1862 Emancipation Proclamation.
