One Week Already???

My how time flies! I can't believe it's already been one week since we've landed en France.

TUESDAY
We had a scavenger hunt in Biarritz, which got delayed due to the rain. Fortunately, the students made it safely to the Poste de Secours; our designated meeting point. Once it ended, we went window shopping and for some ice cream in the Place Clemenceau.

WEDNESDAY
After class, we took the bus to Bayonne. We headed straight for the Office du Tourisme, so that students could pick up maps and literature on things to see and do there. We had a visite guidéé at the Musée Basque, which was previously the home of the Daguerette family. Our guided tour was quite informative, leaving us feeling more knowledgeable on Basque daily life, religion, and architecture. Ask your child why a typical Basque home is red and white and s/he will enlighten you. Some students lingered around Bayonne to explore and shop. This was their first time to make their way home to Anglet, and they succeeded in light of some minor challenges.

Today is a journée de repos, so weather permitting, the students can enjoy a day at the beach.
A+.
