Checking in

Mme. Albertson, Mme. Retka, and I have checked in, left messages, or actually seen every one of our students since they have been in their family stays. Kids have been to school, the markets, Aix, Nimes, Arles, boating, school, and even the university...quite a lot of memories in a couple short days!  Bonsoir!

Pont du Gard...on arrive!

All is well...with each passing day, more and more of our students are makng plans to either travel, study abroad, or even move here!  They are all so open-minded, excited and willing to try al the new foods, places, and take in everything.  We are so proud of all the French they are using in preparation for meeting families tonight.  

Palais des Papes

Working on the Eagan AM countdown...Avignon is a beautiful walled city and home of the 1/2 bridge to nowhere, le Pont d'Avignon.

Avignon, nous arrivons!

Off to see Avignon today. Yesterday, one of our beautiful American girls was kissed (on the cheek, no worries) by a French boy in Chamonix...she can now cross it off her bucket list!  The photo is a snapshot on the way down from the mountain in the gondola.
