Vimy2017 April 3rd, 2017
Hello everyone!
On April 3rd, 2017 we went to the see the reason why we started all the funding... Vimy Ridge. It was massive and amazing! Sadly, a important part of the monument all the names of the fallen soldiers, was closed due to the 100th anniversary. Before we went to check out the monument we were walking through the trenches of the Axis and Allied troops. Also we couldn't walk through the fields due to the 50-50 chance of being blown up by undetonated artillery shells. We also seen sheep whom are used to cut the grass instead of humans...due to the same reason we were unable to walk through the field.

On April 2nd, 2017 We left London, England and embarked on our journey to Ypres, Belgium. We went on a double decker bus in the morning, and by the afternoon we caught our train to go under the chunnel. The chunnel is going underwater in a train. We arrived in Lilles, France, picked up our rental vans and drove into Belgium. Belgium is a beautiful country as well as France and England. We attended the Last Post in Ypres and it was very touching and moving. After we did everything we needed to do, we left Ypres and went to Lens, France.

Hello Everyone!
I am sorry again for not keeping everyone updated, but guess what?! We have been in Europe for the past 3 days :) Tonight (because it is 21:26) we are in France. We checked out the Juno Beach and Omaha cemetery. It was very moving and different vibes while being there. At Juno beach we walked through the museum while we waited for our tour to begin. On our tour we walked through the German bunkers, and tunnels. We went to the bookstore and bought little glass jars, and went to the beach and collected some sand.
