Bonjour à LaSalle! Don’t worry; we are all currently in possession
of our bagage (luggage). Monday was our welcoming to College Saint Michel and I
must say we certainly received the red carpet treatment. After a breakfast served by chef Olivier, the
students were given a lovely tour of the school grounds. As we passed the gymnasium we noticed a group
of students on their way out to the field for a little javelin practice. Mr.
Van Steen just might need to add that to the gym curriculum. When the tour was over, the LaSalle crew was
officially presented to the entire school!
We felt right at home as technical difficulties with the microphone made
it difficult to hear. Or perhaps it was
the noise of the French students who could barely contain themselves as cheers
rang out, “USA, USA, USA!” From there the students shadowed their hosts for
several class periods, just long enough to build up their appetites for chef
Olivier’s amazing second act, lunch.
Let’s just say he’s never heard of corn dog or nacho day here in Liffré. Words can’t describe how wonderful the food
was compared to CPS. Then it was on to
our tour/scavenger hunt of the city center, which wouldn’t have been complete
without a stop at the local boulangerie (bakery). Not a bad way to end our first official
school day in town.
