Contes Bretagnes & then we got Emily.

Lauren's class performed a play last night. The kids had been working on it since January. First they found out some Bretagne history, and then they wrote fairy tales based on a historical event or figure. The wrote the play, and the music, and painted the sets. They included Lauren in the chorus and musicians' circle.



These are Lauren's teachers, M. Nelou and Mme. Martin.

Here's a video of the players and the chorus, Greek tragedy style.

Emily arrived safely today. We picked her up from Rennes, sleepy but wided eyed with amazement. She's currently trying with all her strength to keep her eyes open because if she goes to sleep now, she'll be up in the middle of the night. We are so happy that she's here. It is going to be so much fun having another roommate. The girls are talking her ear off right now. She also brought some fabulous new Barbie videos. We're excited to show her Dinan and Britanny and even Paris in the next few weeks. For now...au revoir.
