What we learned. The lodge at the top had a museum! The tram can hold a lot of people. The views from the lodge are incredible. The tram takes you up really far. Also, we learned that Sophia is really afraid of the tram. |

| Destination Eleven: Our First Week Together |
| Closing circle thoughts from our team on the first exchange |
|
What are some of the important things that you have learned about your Sister Schools culture from this visit?: They are really welcoming and truly cared about us. Also, kids in Anchorage are so busy all the time!!
How do you think that this visit has changed how you think about yourself and your own culture?: We like our laid back lifestyle and not having to rush from one event to another. I didn't realize how much I have gotten used to this pace of life! It was really hard to keep up. I was so tired when I got back, I dragged for almost a week. It was really emotional for me to balance the week and be as punctual as I would have liked.
