FUN-FILLED WEEKEND IN ATLANTA

CIEE students Faby, Kristy, Giuli, Melanie, Jinsung, K and Jinuk, and Faby's host dad, Mark, and host sister, Randi, joined Jim for a fun-filled weekend in Atlanta April 12 & 13.  We spent all day Saturday at Six Flags over Georgia and toured World of Coca Cola and CNN World Headquarters on Sunday.  The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time!  The JP2 choir was in Atlanta at the same time for a choral competition and we got to see them receive a first-place award at a ceremony held at Six Flags Saturday afternoon.
