Happy Peace Day! Today is the official International Day of Peace and, for the first time, there was a huge Peace Day event held in Dallas. The event was called Peace Day Dallas Awareness Adventure and was sponsored by the Dallas Holocaust Museum and Children's International Summer Villages (CISV). Both organizations are committed to bringing about world peace through education, understanding and friendship.Ms. Nipp, Ursuline's Director of Global Relationships, was one of eighteen local Peace Day honorees. So, it was a perfect activity for our UA Dallas host students to attend with their Brazilian brothers and sisters. Participants began their day at the Holocaust museum and, using an App on their phones, took a walking tour of downtown Dallas which highlighted important historical and cultural sites in our city.

After a few very warm hours walking through downtown, we were ready for a Texas-size lunch. So, our group traveled over the Margaret Hunt Bridge to Babbs Brothers' Barbecue - It was delicious and was a great ending to our day!!!
