BlogAbroad.com chronicles the adventures of four students as they study abroad.

Today, May 5, Cinco de Mayo, 2006, is the official season finale of BlogAbroad.com Season 3.  It's been an amazing adventure where Taylor (LittleLadyLuck), Tammy (TammyCamera), Sarah (BritLit , and Jeff (CzechIt) have taken us on virtual tours of Japan, Costa Rica, England, and the Czech Republic.  It has been educational, entertaining, and moving.  So many have been touched by the changes they have experienced.  They truly are new people, and it was amazing to witnesses their transformation right before our eyes in these past few months. 

We thank you, Taylor, Tammy, Sarah, and Jeff, for showing us what it means to be human, and what it takes to stretch beyond our means and grow in ways we never thought possible. 

You are true inspiration.

Sincerely,
The BlogAbroad.com Team.


And now, to the good stuff:

The winner of the first ever BlogAbroad.com photo contest is Tammy for her stunning picture of white cranes in flight:



And, finally, if you have been following along with the BlogAbroad.com Express Newsletter, you know about that contest.  The winner, for guessing that today, Cindo de Mayo, was the season finale, is William Patterson from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  Congratulations to William for winning a shiny new iPod Nano.  The staff at BlogAbroad.com has been oggling it all week and is very jealous.

Well, that's it.  The season is over.  Now, don't worry too much.  The four bloggers will still be finishing up their semesters and blogging about their return to America.  The season isn't really over until their experience is, but the color commentary on the season has ended.

Don't forget about them, though.  They need your support.  And don't forget about us, either.  We'll be back soon with an all new group of terrific and daring study abroad students.  But it will be hard to match these four inspirations.  We wish them all the best of luck.

BlogAbroad out.
