Sounds like an awesome trip!

I'll never forget the worldview class I took at my Christian alma mater when our professors brought in a local nihilist as a guest lecturer. Studying the philosophy of nihilism was nothing compared to hearing someone who actually espoused that philosophy explain his views and field our questions. And never was I so glad that I believe in Someone rather than absolutely nothing at all.

That trip sounds really exciting and educational. Since I just graduated high school recently, I must admit I'm a bit jealous.
