Update from France

Dear Families:

On top of their regular morning classes, the students added an optional class to their load, on Tuesdays and Fridays. We can't be surprised that they selected slang over literature.

Every day, we discover a new beach and a new small town. So far, the students' favorite town is Cassis and their favorite beach is on the island of Porquerolles; a wonderful way to celebrate 4th of July.

The students are developing new friendships with the students from the school who, for the most part right now, are from the German speaking part of Switzerland. Yesterday afternoon, Carmen, Mme Valle's new student, arrived by the Geneva-Toulon TGV (bullet train). The students were very excited to have a new roommate.

We will say good-bye to our friends on Friday because on Saturday, we will take the road to Nice. Sunday we will visit the Principality of Monaco.

Monday in a week, the California girls will be ready for "Home, Sweet Home."
