The job they did was absolutely fabulous. It's worth a look.<br />

We were due for a day
in which everything went right, and Wednesday was our day.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We arrived for our
guided visit of the Musée d’Orsay and were ushered in with virtually no wait.
We picked up what we thought were mp3 players, but turned out to be devices on
which we could hear our guide without her shouting.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The guide was
absolutely fabulous. She spoke French slowly that the students understood quite
well. She explained the origins of Impressionism with artworks that were right
in front of us. Then she led us into the gallery of Impressionism and tied what
we saw there with what we had seen before. We saw colors and details in paintings
none of us had imagined. She explained how these painters understood how the
human eye perceives color, even though they were not scientists and had not
studied perception.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end, it was an
extraordinary museum experience for us all.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We then high-tailed it
to the Champs de Mars, the park at the feet of the Eiffel Tower, so we could
picnic in the shadow of the iron lady. (Actually, it was cloudy, so there was
no shadow.) Everyone took pictures and fell in love with the grand lady of
Paris.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A sudden light rain
shower sent us headed to our Métro stop quickly. But we had an appointment with
Montmartre.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Montmartre, the hill
overlooking the heart of Paris has its own history. We met a group of actors
there who took us through that history from the point of view of people who
lived there at the turn of the 19<sup>th</sup> century. The visit was funny and
fun, even if our students didn’t get all the jokes and historical references,
and the actors spoke French as if they were native French speakers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The end was perfect as
the actress who played “la Belle Gabrielle” and the actor who played
“Jean-Jacques Latour” danced with Loïc and Évie respectively.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had a bit of free
time before we needed to meet for dinner. One group headed for the Centre
Pompidou (the modern art museum), another for Notre Dame, another stayed in
Montmartre. And one group fulfilled Ash’s wish to visit Les Invalides and
Napoléon’s tomb. To quote Ash, “C’est le meilleur jour de ma vie!” (We’ve
actually heard her say this before…)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We met back up at the
auberge before dinner. We headed to Flunch, which is a buffet-style restaurant
chain. Ours happened to be in the Pigale district, not far from the Moulin
Rouge. We saw some curious things on our walk. But everyone was full when we
started back to the auberge to pack for the return home.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thursday morning, we
said goodbye to Abby and Sophia who were staying in Europe to travel with
their families. After a couple of free hours in the neighborhood, we drug all
our bags down to the square in front of the Trinité church to await the bus
that was to take us the Aéroport Charles de Gaulle. We left Loïc and Évie
behind, as they were staying in France to visit their families. Micah got a
head start on saying goodbye, even though he was to be with us all the way to
Indianapolis.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the bus on the way
to the airport, there was one last rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner and the
Marseillaise. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Some flight delays caused us to arrive in Indianapolis at 2 am, but our families accepted us anyway!</div>

Monsieur Heitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18035102179373762617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523754998622724486.post-36282870638970254222017-07-23T20:27:00.000-07:002017-07-23T20:27:07.345-07:00Paris Day 2<div class="MsoNormal">
Trouble continued to
plague Lindsey’s well planned Paris schedule. We arrived for our reserved
guided tour of the Musée d’Orsay, the museum of Impressionism, only to discover
that a scheduling snafu had our reservation for Wednesday, not Tuesday. It was
time to juggle the schedule again.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We decided to catch up
from the day before. Lindsey and Évie took a group to see the catacombs while
Michael and Loïc took a group for a walking tour of the Latin Quarter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The catacombs are a
series of underground tunnels where the bones of thousands of Parisians from
the 13<sup>th</sup>-17<sup>th</sup> centuries are placed. These tunnels provided
the stone for the buildings of Paris and were empty in the 17<sup>th</sup> and
18<sup>th</sup> centuries. The bones were moved because of health issues from contaminated ground water from the decomposition. Bones are arranged by cemetery and by bone type;
pelvises together, femurs together, skulls together, etc.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Today, the catacombs
are open for public visits and nearly half of our students wanted to visit.
They expected to wait in line, but few envisioned the over five hour wait. They
were troopers and stuck it out. (I’ll post photos when students share them with
me.) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later, that same group
visited glorious Notre Dame Cathedral. There was a group of street dancers in
the courtyard in front of the cathedral that put on a rather amazing
exhibition. (I am waiting for shared photos.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then they headed to
the Montparnasse district for supper. Some had kebobs. Some chose a restaurant
with the fixed price menus and a free Orangina!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The other group
started in the morning with a walk around l'Île de la Cité, the City Island that
is in the middle of the Seine River and is the heart of Paris. They also
visited Île Saint Louis, the island just next to Cité and the calmest, most
tranquil part of Paris. It is therefore also the most expensive, real estate
going for about $200,000 a square meter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From there the group
wandered the boulevards of the Latin Quarter, seeing up close some of the
buildings of the Sorbonne, the oldest university in Europe. There are books
stores on almost every corner and many ethnic restaurants.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After picking up lunch
in area boulangéries or restaurants, the students had a picnic under the
bandstand in the Luxembourg Gardens. It was a very relaxing time, and the
respite was welcome.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After that, it was off
to the area around the Opéra. They saw the ornate Second Empire building that
is the Opéra. Then it was off to one of the Grand Magasins, the original
department stores, in this case the Galléries Lafayettes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Grands Magasins
date from the 1870s and 1880s. Galléries Lafayettes has a glass and iron dome
over the central part that is contemporaneous with the Eiffel Tower, and you
can tell. This is a place that makes shopping an experience, indeed it invented
shopping.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The group took a break
for some drinks and ice creams in one of the GL restaurants, enjoyed the air
conditioning for a bit before heading back out into the Paris summer for a
short stroll down Boulevard Haussman, one of the great boulevards of the Second
Empire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then it was off to the
Montparnasse district for dinner. A group had dinner at a restaurant called
“Comptoir des vaches,” which specialized in beef dishes. (But the name
suggested a bar for cows. Those crazy French!) This was just across the street
from the Japanese restaurant where Loïc and Michael dined.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The evening ended with
a visit to the top of the Montparnasse Tower. This is the only skyscraper in
central Paris. Built in 1969, Parisians generally condemn it as the ugliest
building in Paris. No skyscrapers have been permitted in central Paris since.
But the view from the top is extraordinary, rivaling that of the Eiffel Tower
(its neighbor) with virtually no waiting line.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Michael stayed with
Grace, who suffers from vertigo, and Nichole, who REALLY doesn’t like
elevators. They had Oranginas while the others posed for photos on the top of
the tower. The arrangement suited everyone. (Thanks to Kelsey for the photos on
the tower.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t think I have
mentioned how hot it has been in Paris. Monday and Tuesday were near 90 degrees
and full sun. Air conditioning is not a thing in all buildings in Paris
(including our hostel) because the hot season really only lasts a couple of
months. It’s hard to justify the cost of retro-fitting 200-300 year old
buildings with AC for two months a year. Besides, Parisians leave Paris in July
and August for vacations in the mountains or at the beach, or visits to the US.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Our first
stop after we left Brest was the Palace of Versailles (well lunch then
Versailles). The palace is huge and overwhelming – and there are a lot of
people. We arrived too late in the day to have reserved our group in advance,
so we had to wait in line, a really long line. It went rather quickly, less
than an hour, but unlike Brest, it was hot. There is no shade in the courtyard
of Louis’s palace. It was just meant for the arrival of carriages, not
thousands of tourists.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Versailles
really needs to be experienced. The opulence is amazing. Considering Parisians
were starving in the street while Louis XIV, XV and XVI were waging expensive
wars, buying jewelry and throwing big parties at Versailles, you understand why
there was a French revolution. The students had to go through in small groups.
There would be no way a group of 31 could stay together. It’s difficult for a
group of three to stay together.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">They got to
see the rooms leading up to and including the famous hall of mirrors, the
king’s apartments and the queen’s antechambers. The queen’s apartments are
being renewed, so they were unavailable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">There is a
separate charge for the gardens, but many of the students felt it was worth it.
Summer is the time of “son et lumière” (sound and light). There is music
playing in the gardens and in the evenings there are lighted fountain displays.
It really was worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Evening
brought us to BVJ Opéra, our youth hostel in Paris. The building is beautiful
even if the amenities are a bit rustic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><br />We had
dinner at a restaurant in the quarter. For some, it was their first experience
of an authentic French restaurant since many of them had only dined at home
with their French families. The highlight had to be Michael Hrinda ordering not
just escargots but steak tartar as well. He was quite happy with both!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The French
government kind of messed up our plans for Monday. We discovered that many
sites and museums are closed on Monday. So much for our visit to the catacombs
and Victor Hugo’s apartments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Michael and
Loïc’s group still visited the amazing Place des Voges, built by Henri IV and
inaugurated on the event of the Marriage of his son, Louis XIII in 1602. Victor
Hugo lived there in the 1800s. Since we couldn’t visit his apartments, we
decided to go to the Picasso Museum. A quick internet check told us that was
closed as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We wandered
the streets of the Marais district and decided to have lunch in the Rue des
Rosiers, the heart of the Jewish quarter, groups of three or four choosing
different cafés. (Several chose a falafel restaurant.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We decided
to visit the museum of the Holocaust. Although unplanned, it was a very
rewarding experience. The profundity of what happened to 6 million Jews and
some 2 million gypsies and political prisoners during World War II really
struck a chord with the students. The horror of the events and the honor of the
people became real for them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Lindsey and
Évie’s group decided to visit the Grand Palais and the Petit Palais, exhibition
halls on the banks of the Seine with ever-changing exhibits. Unfortunately, the
Petit Palais was also closed and the Grand Palais was expensive. In the end,
they visited the Tuileries Gardens and a carnival that is a summer feature of
the gardens. Imagine, Mari and Joseph in bumper cars!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We all met
in front of the Comédie Française for our visit to the Louvre museum. It was
really good that we had a group reservation as it is the height of the tourist
season in Paris and there were hundreds and hundreds of people in line for
tickets.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Even so, we
had less than two hours to visit the third largest art museum in the world. We
split into four groups, one with each teacher, and struck out to see ancient
Greek and Roman sculpture, Renaissance painting (including the Mona Lisa), 18<sup>th</sup>
and 19<sup>th</sup> century French paintings, decorative art from the 17<sup>th</sup>
and 18<sup>th</sup> centuries and pretty much anything else you can imagine up
to the 1840s. One group visited the Old Masters, Dutch paintings from the 16<sup>th</sup>
century including Rembrandt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
students were overwhelmed after our whirlwind visit. But they all agreed that
it was an excellent experience. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Afterwards,
we stayed in small groups for free time and dinner. Michael’s group dined in
the Tuileries, then stopped by the Madeleine church and visited Place Vendome and
Rue du Rivoli, some of the most expensive shopping in the world. The others
were equally as adventurous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We capped
the evening a tour of Paris – on a boat! We took the Vedettes du Pont Neuf for
a sunset cruise on the Seine River. We got to see the Louvre, Assemblée
Nationale, Place de la Concorde, the Alexander III Bridge, the Invalides and of
course the Eiffel Tower all before we turned around. On the return trip we also
saw Notre Dame, the museum of the Arabic world, and a beautiful view of the Île
de la Cité as the sun sets in the west.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">It was a long, hot day but really great!</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Last week
was a really intense one, and short as the fête des familles was Thursday
night. The students practiced as much as possible with the time we had. In
addition, they had the final self-evaluation and the final exam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
midst of that we still had a sports afternoon on Tuesday. We didn’t get to go
outside as it was blowing mist in Brest, a phenomenon I had never witnessed
before. We went to a different gym with basketball goals this time. There was
serious basketball and some fun games.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Very
quickly, time for the family show arrived. The students did a great job! All
that rehearsing really paid off. The families really enjoyed the show,
especially the ending number. The students ended by showing the audience papers
on which they had written the family name and something nice to the family.
These they presented as a gift. It was so cool! </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">The
students went home with their families for the holiday weekend. July 14 is the
French national holiday. (They don’t actually call it Bastille Day.) We didn’t
see them again until 6:45 Sunday morning.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">That’s when
we got on the bus and headed for Paris. There were many tears from both students
and family members. These kids have made relationships that in many cases will last a
lifetime.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Friday
morning it was up fairly early for our final excursion before we leave Brest.
We visited the Medieval village of Locronon. There is a patisserie/boulangerie
that makes the amazing Breton delight, the kouig amann (which is not pronounced
much like it is spelled). This amazing pastry is made from 500 grams of dough,
250 grams of butter and 250 grams of sugar. When warm, the butter literally
drips from the pastry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">We received
a demonstration of how it is made. We divided into two groups because their
industrial kitchen is packed with equipment. The chef asked for volunteers to
help. Ash helped from the first group and Mari from the second. It was pretty
cool to watch them pound down 250 grams of butter into a pad. The chef blew us
away with his demonstration, then we got to eat kouign amann! I didn’t take any
pictures of them eating, because I got one too!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US">Here's a video of the process: <a href="https://youtu.be/eL023bDOQwQ">https://youtu.be/eL023bDOQwQ</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After
Locronon, it was on to Quimper. Quimper is a smaller city then Brest that was
untouched by WWII bombing, so its building are really old. It is built over a
series of small rivers and creeks. It’s very quaint with flower boxes at many
windows. There’s an impressive cathedral as well as a couple of interesting
museums.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">After our
picnic lunch and a visit to the cathedral, the students spent a few hours
exploring the city. There was shopping and museum visits and a few ice creams.
It was a beautiful warm, sunny day. I think everyone just enjoyed a fun afternoon
in a cool place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Saturday
was busy with optional activities. In the morning, I did senior portraits with
Alec, Hadley, Carly, Nick, Ash, Lauren, Lexi and Sydney. I think it is safe to
say, none of their peers are going to have similar senior portraits. It was
really fun. The kids really got an opportunity to let their personalities shine
in these images.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">In the
afternoon, many of us went to Océanapolis, the combination aquarium/biome here
in Brest. I started in the opposite direction than most of the students,
thinking I would encounter them in passing. But somehow, I missed most of them.
It’s a big place. Thanks to Évie who followed the students. Most of the
Océanapolis photos are hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So, it’s been
a short weekend for many of us, with our most intense week ahead because of the
family spectacle. The students really want to show their families the
culmination of their efforts. At the same time, they have submitted (for the
most part) entries for the program magazine, a display of their written and
visual work during the program. It all comes together Thursday night!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">It has been
an incredibly busy week 4. The French use the word “chargée” to describe this
sort of week. It couldn’t be more apt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
students are still working hard on their classes. They did tongue twisters in
communications, the subjunctive in grammar, caligrams in literature, and in
cluture, we began to talk about Paris. <a href="https://youtu.be/OvtTMt1oNV4">https://youtu.be/OvtTMt1oNV4</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The weather
in Brest turned warm and sunny again this week, so we did sports outdoors
again. For outdoor sports, we go to a park by the Medieval château. It high
above the port with breezes, shade trees and an amazing view.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Tuesday was
the Fourth of July. It’s just another work day in France, of course. But the French
stage a July 4 ceremony for us at the American Monument, a monument to the
Americans who died to liberate France in the First World War. There was a
posting of both American and French colors. Sidney and Sam, along with French
navy and army veterans, presented floral wreaths. And our students sang both
the Star Spangled Banner and the Marseillaise (the French national anthem)
acapella. <a href="https://youtu.be/bEpIeFR_vL8">https://youtu.be/bEpIeFR_vL8</a><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">They were
fabulous!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
sous-prefect (a high military official) invited the students and teachers to
his home overlooking the port for a reception. He was incredibly gracious. He
welcomed the students to Brest and spoke of the long and special relationship
between France and the US. And the best thing according to the kids was that
Max, the sous-prefect’s dog attended the reception.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Then it was
on to a reception with the host families before heading home for a late dinner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The
students who did the photo class went on a “photo safari” to “capture” amazing
images. I hope to post those later this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">Thursday
evening was la Danse Bretonne, the traditional dancing of Brittany. Our onsite
coordinator Jean-Paul and a host mom, Fabienne, were our dance instructors.
They started us off slowly, but the dances became more intense. It really is a
workout. You have to count your steps, mind your hand movements, make sure to
switch when you should, with whom you should. And all of this happens at a very
quick pace. (The video is long, but very fun: <a href="https://youtu.be/axiwymhO2sg">https://youtu.be/axiwymhO2sg</a>)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">At the end
of the evening, everyone was hot, sweaty, worn out and completely thrilled.
They had so much fun! Some family members participate as do the teachers
(except me and my bad knee). It is just a great time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Wow! What a
busy week! Even though we didn’t have an excursion this week, it was really
busy. We have a routine now. Monday and Thursday we have success groups to
start the day. Tuesday we play sports. In the afternoons we have been preparing
for the July 4 celebration and for the farewell show. The kids have been
working really hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This week,
we added a few extra opportunities to learn. Lindsey offered a crochet class.
Loïc and Évie offered a cooking class. I offered a photography class. The photo
students are going to go on a “photo safari” tomorrow after activities to “capture”
photos. I’ll post some of those images to the blog next time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Friday was
bowling night at “Le Master” lanes. This is such a fun activity! The families
and the students all come together and just have a flat out good time. There
are tons of laughs and a lot of smack talk in French!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">On Saturday,
we offered a bike ride tour of Brest. (Big thanks to Lindsey for organizing
it.) About half the students chose to participate. It was really great. We got
to see parts of Brest we don’t see every day. And we got to see some beautiful
sites like the Jardin des Explorateurs and the Phare (lighthouse) at the porte
de la grande rivière.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Normandy, the province to the east of Bretagne.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our first
stop was the seaside city of Saint Malo. It is an old city in that it has been
there a very long time, but new in the sense that it was rebuilt after World
War II. It is a walled city, and the walls were pretty much all that was left
after allied bombing. The city fathers chose to rebuild the city in the style
it was before the war. So, the buildings look as if they were built in the
1700s and 1800s.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

students were set free to explore the walled city and to have their “pique-nique”
lunch on the ramparts. There was shopping to do, crèpes to eat and ice cream
find. They seemed to enjoy it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Then it was
off to Mont Saint Michel. If you are unfamiliar, this is a small granite island
just off the coast in the English Channel. In fact, at low tide, it is an
island only in the sense that it is surrounded by a sea of sand. It is
remarkable because it is the only granite formation for 100 miles in either
direction. It is topped by an abbey, which has been built and rebuilt since 710
AD.</span><br />

our workout. The main street is a pedestrian street as wide as a pickup truck
that ascends at about a 30 degree angle. Then there are steps, and steps and steps
up to the abbey, the church of which sits some 450 ft. above the surrounding
sea.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

not sure which is more impressive, the view <b><i>of</i></b> Mont Saint Michel or
the view <b><i>from</i></b> Mont Saint Michel. Either way, it is impressive that it
was all built before the age of machines. Ropes, pulleys and human ingenuity

Thursday night in an auberge de jeunesse (youth hostel) in Léon sur Mer, a very
small town on the beach. It’s actually on the edge of what was Omaha Beach on
D-Day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of us went to the beach to wade and play. Others stayed at the auberge to play
volleyball. But it was quiet time at 10 pm and lights out at 11. They fed us
breakfast the next morning and sent us off with a pique-nique.</span></span><br />

a solemn day for the students. They study about D-Day (Jour-J in French) in
their US history classes. But the dates and facts they studied become real when
they walk the beaches, see the cliffs and pass through the cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We started
on Omaha Beach, called “Bloody Omaha” by the soldiers because of the 1,000 dead
and over 2,000 injured on D-Day. The spot we visited is host to two monuments,
one on the shore and one on the beach itself. The one on the beach was built to
commemorate the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of D-Day in 2014. It is called “Les
Braves.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

aircraft. Perhaps someone more familiar with WWII aircraft can tell us what it
was.</span></span><br />

beautiful, placid place, quiet and calm. I don’t have many pictures of the
students from there. It just isn’t the sort of place that lends itself to group
photos or fun pictures. It is a place of reverence and reflection. And I have
to say that our students were very reverent and very moved. They were
thoughtful, realizing what it took to insure freedom.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

stopped, faced the American flags and put their hands over their hearts. There
were many tears shed at that point, mine included. Then a French Mirage Air

<span lang="EN-US">Tuesday,
instead of other activities, it was sports day! We went down to a park across from
the chateau (a mediaeval fortress on the port), and learned to play pétanque,
the traditional French ball throwing game. (Think bocce, but with more strategy
and skill involved.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">I learned
pétanque in Montpellier many years ago and have refreshed my memory from the
internet. I needed a little help from Évie to get the rules just right.
Everyone seemed to enjoy him or herself, with some students showing a
surprising competitive streak.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">For some,
the slow pace of pétanque was not quite suited. Lindsey led them to the gym for
a hard workout of basketball and whatever kind of games it is that they make
up. We were quite relieved that our ardent basketball players were not really
picky about rules like traveling and double dribbling. (Thank you Alec and
Micah.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">The next
afternoon, students plunged themselves head-first into their projects for the
family spectacle. At the end of our time in Brest, we will present a
performance for our host families. This is totally student generated, with
guidance from us teachers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">This year’s
performances are going to be fantastic, with a skit reminiscent of a <i>Friends</i> episode, to lip synching, to
individual musical performances, to signing of a popular French song. I’m sure
I have left something out, but it is going to be pretty amazing. The students
are working hard. Difficult to believe, but it is less than three weeks away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I sort of promised a
blog post for tonight. I’m afraid there won’t be much to this one. We’ve been
so busy, I haven’t had time to upload pictures or videos. We had the Mayor’s
reception Monday evening. (Ash and Mari blew the deputy mayor away.) Tuesday,
they learned to play pétanque. Today we practiced for the July 4 celebration
and worked on our spectacle for the families. This evening was the Fête de Musique,
a nationwide music festival.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I’ll spend some quality
bus time uploading photos and videos and telling you all about it. However, I
won’t have internet connection at the youth hostel, so it will be Saturday before
I am able to post just what we’ve done this week. Then I will quickly add

Friday was our first excursion. The plan was to go to Pointe
de Pen-Hir and Concarneau. We went those places, but go a bit of added bonus.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We use a tour bus company based here in Brest, called Labat.
The drivers are incredible. They manipulate these huge busses on the narrowest
streets and the tightest turns safely and wisely. Our driver today, Patric,
offered to take us on a scenic route and to stop by Pointe des Espagnols, which
has a great view of a really long stretch of the Rade de Brest, the 25 mile
long “harbor” where Brest and a dozen other small cities are located.<o:p></o:p></div>

Then it was on to Pointe de Pen-Hir. This is a rocky
outcropping into what is called la Mer d’Iroise, the Breton Sea. Where it stops
and the Atlantic Ocean begins is vague. On the top, where we were, is some 200
ft. above the sea with waves crashing into the rocks below. It’s beautiful. The
cliff faces vary in color based on their mineral composition. The wind and the
rains of eons have formed some very rugged terrain. The students were
overwhelmed by the beauty of this savage, rocky point of earth so close to
civilization. And they took a million photos.<o:p></o:p></div>

Our driver took us to this little town, Camaret-sur-Mer, on
the seaside to have our picnic lunches. Some of us got really adventurous and
waded in the ocean. There are beautiful beaches here, but the water is
generally pretty cold, even in summer. The current brings the water from near
the Arctic, after all. Based on the squeals, it was cold.<o:p></o:p></div>

Then it was off to Concarneau. It is an historic, fortified
village that sits on an island in the middle of an estuary. There’s only one
way in or out. It dates from the Middle Ages as do the buildings. I saw one
shop with a sign that said it had been in business since 1897. That’s not medieval,
but it’s a long time. The fortified village is mostly a tourist attraction
today. And we were attracted. An actual city has sprung up on the river banks
on either side. Fishing is a huge industry there, as well as shipbuilding. But
we were enchanted by the ramparts, the shopping and the ice cream.<o:p></o:p></div>

to tell the parents as well. As a professional photographer for 30 years prior to teaching, I
photographed about 5,000 senior portrait sessions. If you would like for me to
do a portrait session for your soon-to-be senior while we are in Brest, tell
them to let me know.<o:p></o:p></div>

There’s no charge and it gets me some one-on-one time with the students. And it

Today was our first sports and activity day. This is something
we will do once or twice a week after lunch to get the kids active. In France,
sports are not part of school. They are sponsored by what we would call youth
or rec centers. We can’t be affiliated with any of those, so, we have to
provide our own opportunities.<o:p></o:p></div>

We have a rag-tag bunch of balls of various sorts, a

counselor, so she can create an activity out of nothing.<o:p></o:p></div>

We went to a park that overlooks the opening of the port to
the Atlantic Ocean, the mediaeval château on another side, and the busiest
commercial port in northwest Europe on another. Sounds like a great place to play,
right?<o:p></o:p></div>

I expected them to play soccer, but no one did. There was
badminton and Frisbee. They invented some game that involved throwing a soccer
ball while in the air. There was another game I didn’t understand that involved
moving very quickly, smacking another person’s hand then freezing in place. <o:p></o:p></div>

Then Évie introduced the French version of dodgeball, which
involves much less pain and much less shame than I remember from dodgeball. It
took the kids a while to understand the rules and pacing. It is supposed to be
a very fast game, but the lack of understanding slowed it down. Once they got
it, things went very quickly.<o:p></o:p></div>

It’s very difficult to believe that we have been here only
two and a half days! We arrived in Brest Thursday at 4:15 pm, an hour early!
Students went with their host families and teachers to our apartments. Of
course, we had to have a meeting to plan Friday.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And what a day Friday was! The students (stagiaires, en
français) took placement tests in the morning. We showed them the way to the
cafeteria for lunch, did a walking tour and had a photo scavenger hunt, all
before 3:00pm! My Fitbit says we walked 17,000 steps with the students!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

They went home with families or we teachers showed them how
to use the tram and bus to return home. They have the weekend with host
families. We can’t wait to hear the stories of their adventures!<o:p></o:p></div>
