Reflection on traveling.

I've never traveled with more than 3 other people and I think this trip is going pretty good. It's good that we have so many teachers to spread out in groups when we are walking to make sure people don't go the wrong way and to make sure we keep walking at a good speed. Another thing that helps is the color coordinated clothes, I don't think they have to be so bright, but when I know what color to look for it helps me a lot. I like the system we do with checking in with our groups after we arrive places because it's fast, efficient, and easy. I don't like the rule that we have to have three people to a group because sometimes I can only find one other person that wants to do the things I want to do, but I understand that a group of two can get into more trouble than a group of three can. Eating is hard when we're in large groups because if we're not hungry at a certain time we have to wait until the next meal to find something to eat. I like it more when we split up into small groups, like we did for dinner last night, we got to chose whether we wanted to stay at the hotel and order pizza, go with Mr. Ewen and Ms. Tomasello, or go with Mr. Schagrin (I went to Istanbul with Mr. Ewen & Ms. Tomasello). Another thing I liked was choosing whether we wanted to take the train or get lost in the rain, because I had a lot of fun walking home with the group.
