My most significant takeaways from this magnificent program were the beautiful views and getting to see them all in person. I also very much enjoyed meeting the locals and getting to experience their culture. As they were very kind and nice people. I also was able to take away all the knowledge I learned about the specific sites and their significance to the culture.
