Classe de découverte II

This is Ch's class at 7am this morning at Montparnasse, waiting for the train to take them to the Abbey they are staying at this week. They are doing a workshop on choral music there as their "classe de découverte". These special, week-long field trips are part of the national curriculum here.

Ch was excited and a little apprehensive as we said goodbye. This is her first time away from us for more than a sleep-over. The update on her school web site today said they'd arrived safely and went for a walk in the forest where they spotted wild boar tracks.

Besides missing Ch, Th and I had good days. Since I was up so early, I saw the sun come up on île Saint-Louis where I had my coffee before putting in a long day at the library. Th got her chem exam back with a just-short-of-perfect score. That chemistry gene certainly does not come from me!
