Star of India: Really? Wow!

As I mentioned a couple days ago, my recent experience chaperoning an elementary field trip on the Star of India was awesome.

One of the things that made it such great experience was the group of kids attending. Even the rowdiest of the bunch were completely well behaved. I couldn't believe it!

I guess after spending so much time working with the most foul-mouthed and violent children, I forgot how pleasant 'normal' kids could be!

Who knew!?

Star of India

Built in 1863, the Star of India is the oldest iron hulled merchant ship still sailing. And I got to stay overnight on it! Helping to chaperon a fourth grade field-trip with my good pal Nathan was a great experience for many reasons, and I'm sure I'll get around to writing about some of them when I'm not so exhausted. But for now, here's the pics!
