Yay tour. Yay elevators! Weee!!

From Trevor in Prague

Hello all CYSO parents, staff, and families!

The weather here has been absolutely fantastic, and (as far as I know) everyone is having an amazing time. This is certainly an inspiring and life-changing experience. I can't wait to tell all my friends and family at home about this wonderful trip. Unfortuately, my computer time is limited to 10 minutes, so I have to go. Best wishes for all of you in cyber-space!
