We are just days away from take-off as we prepare for yet another adventure with Woods Around the World. Not too far from our campus in Fulton, Missouri, along Highway 54, there is an elegant billboard featuring the world’s most famous (and mysterious) smile. The billboard is part of an advertising campaign from the Foundation for a Better Life and urges the viewer to share a smile with someone else. In less than a week, our smiling group will travel 4,446 miles away to see the famous original in Paris, France. Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, hangs in a special gallery of The Louvre. Here are a few of our travelers posing in front of the billboard alongside Highway 54.
