Rich'sTrip
It was a long-time goal to get Rich to travel with us on our school trips. It was because, among other reasons, we knew his historical knowledge would likely rival the local tour guides! We were not wrong. As a veteran history teacher and much-loved coach, Rich's presence on our trips not only elevated the educational value, but also brought a sense of comfort and security because of his many years of experience. His wife Shelly, was also a welcome addition as her nursing expertise only added to that sense of security and confidence.
This is Rich's trip.
Switzerland’s largest city, Zurich has consistently ranked among the world’s highest for quality of life. Situated on the northwestern end of Lake Zurich, it is a cosmopolitan city that marries modern amenities with a glorious natural setting.
