Needless to say—our trip to the Capitol of Kentucky in Frankfort was preceded by bubbling joy and high levels of excitement! 3 full vehicles with 56 participants from 10 countries, compassionate volunteers and indispensable interpreters, plenty of water and a variety of lunch dishes started our Frankfort trip to the Capitol and the KY History Museum! We took our lunch break in a beautiful park to share ethnic delicacies & exchange cultural nuggets! This was a great experience in putting a face on the American History and legislature material taught in the classes! On the right: Aren’t we a happy bunch?
