We recently went to the Michigan Renaissance Festival. Have you ever been to a Renaissance Festival? If you haven't, it is so much fun. If you haven't, it will be super duper duper fun. Here are some photos that my mom took. I will tell you about each one.

Book Review of the Week: Fodor's Japan, 18th Edition

Submitted by Dr. Jessie Voigts on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 12:35

As anyone who has been to Japan can attest, the country is packed full of great things to see, interesting history, and fascinating people. I've lived in Japan twice, and think I could live there the rest of my life and still not experience everything I want to.

Luckily, we live in the age of information - websites galore, as well as travel guides researched by people in the know. I've recently read a fantastic guidebook of Japan, and wanted to share it with our Wandering Educators.
