NATO competition ended, and like Odysseus's journey home after the Trojan War, our trip home had many twists and turns ("in's and out's" as the Dude would say) until we finally made it back to Slimey Pebble. On the way out of DC, a couple of students had to spend the night in Rockville, due to exhaustion I think. We got them situated safely, and with Little D Mac manning the satellite map with his laptop, made it to Interstate 70 and we were on our way home. We drove fast but safe, and if we had wings we would have been airborne. Here are pictures of Steve and Non Amnesty Dan on the finally day, voting for the final resolutions. Our hotel had a pool, but only the ducks swam in it. The students worked hard and partied hard while Dr. D kept taking pain pills. We made Hemingway and Fitzgerald's exploits in Paris look amateurish. The only thing we didnt do was cut the roof off the van (Hemingway and Fitzgerald once drunk had the top of their french sedan chopped off on a drive back to Paris). Of course, having the roof chopped off was one alternative after the van got stuck in the underground garage, but luckily the hispanic-latino concierge knew how to unstick wedged vans. Overall, a great experience: next year we will be Slovakia and we are going to contact the Slovak society in the burgh and get familiar with Slovak culture, language, geography, and politics. Now on to Model UN and Model Congress!!!
