5th Grade Field Trip: Tucumán

So, I'm just wondering how many 5th graders you know who have gone on a field trip that starts on a Thursday at 11:30 pm? And lasts until 6:00 am on Saturday morning? At least one: David Frohling.

As you know, we live in Córdoba Capital. This grand city is in the province of Córdoba. Argentina is divided into 23 provinces and a federal district called the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. David got to travel to Tucumán, another province of Argentina, with the other 5th graders at his school. He was SO excited. They went to the historic downtown and toured the Plaza Independencia, Catedral, Casa de Govierno y Convento San Francisco, Casa de la Independencia, Parque 9 de Julio, Museo Casa del Obispo Colombres, y Empaquetadora SEM (a business that processes lemons and strawberries for export).

When we Chris picked him up at 6:00 am, he was worn out and glad to sleep in his own bed (instead of a bus as he did the previous 2 nights) which he did until 1:00 pm in the afternoon. He had a great time and even took some photos that we can share:

I am so thankful for this group of kids; there are about 25 in his class.
They have a lot of fun together and are all very close.
