Sunday - is that a good enough title?

Picture from the bakery yesterday

Almost time to teach again! Courtney and I only have 4 more weeks of teaching together. I think that I will forgo a trip somewhere to get my extra two days in that I missed when I was gallivanting around Italy with Geoff. But that week will be good too, just spend it running and catching up on some quality silence! 4 girls in one apartment usually means someone is talking somewhere!

Burn baby, burn

Yesterday was carnival. A celebration of Earth and the children's commitment to taking care of it. The children dress up in costumes, march through the town, Nemourians open their shutters and watch. THEN we arrive at a square where the children have giant paper sculptures that they light on fire. Still not sure why, but they do! It was so much fun to see the children outside of school. We played silly games with the kids, like chase and cops and robbers. Some of the children's parents came and introduced themselves to us. It felt very "normal". Finally.
