Les Chateaux!

Bonjour!  This morning the group reunited after our weekend with the families.  It was wonderful to see everyone so well-rested!  Our chauffeur for the day met picked meet us at the high school (Lycée St. Charles), and we were off to see the Chateau de Chenonceau in the morning; a picnic near the Chateau d' Amboise, with the finale at Chambord.  Check out the links at the bottom of the blog for a glimpse!  I so wish I had a way to connect my Ipad to upload photos...hopefully at our hotel on Thursday.  The best part of the day for me was listening to the students exchange all of their stories about their weekends- I am so proud of them all.  Tomorrow we have a full day at school!

 On the bus I asked each student to write a "tweet" sized message to share with you.

@Ashley-J'adore France!  My comprehension has improved so much in just 4 days, and I'm having a bonne journée!

@Meg- Bonjour Maman and Papa: France is beautiful-it's just as cool as I expected.  I'm having a great time! See you Sunday!

@Rachel-France is beautiful qnd I know I am going to be reluctant to leave France.  It's a great experience but I miss my bed!

@Kacey-Bonjour!  I am loving France as much as I had anticipated;  It still seems unreal that I am here.  I honestly don't know if I can leave:)  But I will.  See you soon-à bientot!

@Sydney- Bonjour Maman!  France is very beautiful.  I am not allowing myself to get homesick.  I never want to leave but I will- see you Sunday!

@Kolby-The food is good.  The language is good.   The people are good.  I am being good.  Paris was good.  Versailles will be good.  It's been good.  France is awesome!   Je finis.
