It's a gorgeous sunny morning, looking out over the river from our house. There's a fog covering the top of the hill opposite us. It's dreamy. We should be outside. I'm still wrapping my mind around how wonderful this whole exerience is (notwithstanding having strained my back with luggage at the airport and feeling the pain today). It's great to see the girls so excited and bonded together. Last night we went out in the rain for dinner (my belated birthday dinner), and it was fabulous (of course) and the girls were joyful. This doesn't seem complete without the photos we took which I'll get in here soon. But for now, just imagine them in their rainboots giggling and skipping through the streets of Dinan.

This morning Annika says she misses her friends. She talks about her "school" (preschool) frequently. We walked to the girls' new school yesterday. They start on Monday. The playground was very exciting apparently. Lauren says she cannot wait to go. She's especially looking forward to having lunch at school, a cafeteria lunch no less, a French cafeteria lunch no less.

We're going on a bike ride this morning to a nearby town that has a large pool. I guess we're just hoping that public swimming will be on (it seems that many places don't have websites with schedules posted). So, have a bon weekend and bye for now,
