Today we started in Nice, and traveled through Les Baux de Provence a tiny little village in the South of France. One of the best parts when asking one of my French students if she recognized where we were, and then seeing the light bulb go on when I played the theme from "Jean de Florette."
Next stop was Pont Du Gard, an ancient Roman aqueduct in Nimes. Some of the kids went into the water, some of us went up to the top. I ended up alone, and almost got lost. Thankfully I was able to get back to the meeting point before a very embarassing call to Patrick.
Next was one of my favorite places in the world, Avignon.

After we checked into the hotel, some of the kids wanted to go to McDonalds. It was fun to see them experience the differences. We took mostly side streets there, and when we came out, it was almost dark. We thought it was best to walk along the main road, but that was a problem when the sidewalk stopped and there was nothing between us and cars going 75 mph. So we cut through a grassy area in front of a Conforama. I hope the security guards enjoyed watching the security tapes, as our kids dodged the sprinklers. 😂
