We got in to D.C. around 8pm last night and met up with our tour guide for the next couple of days, Heidi Kimie Hartley - a hook-up thanks to Dana Mulvany. Kimie took us to Washington Adventist University where she organized for us to stay in the Men's Res there before we made our way over to her house to meet her husband and two kids—Tina & Jonathan. Kimie and the kids piled into our car and we set off to go exploring. Tina & Jonathan were super exci...

Our first school fair this morning was Highland View Academy, which we found out was only about 10 miles from Camp David—the Presidents country retreat.

It's a really nice school, which unfortunately had to be partially rebuilt due to fire damage recently. Following Spring ...

The National Museum of the United States Air Force is also based in Dayton at the Wright-Patterson Air...

The last school fair for the Lake Union Tour was here in Detroit at Peterson-Warren Academy. We had a great time meeting the students at the school and it was good to have the chance to offer them an international study alternative. After the fair, because we were right in Detroit, Motor City—the historic heart of the American automotive industry—we had to visit the Ford Motor Company's Rouge Factory where Henry Ford pioneered the use of the assembly line in...
