Well, Britt was in Germany today, to observe a Franco-German high school. She spent yesterday in a French high school, and said that was pretty neat. I haven't heard her take on the trip to Germany (trip to GERMANY!! HOW cool is that -- go to another COUNTRY to observe!!), but did get some more info on weekend activities.
The outing was to a small town with a saltworks; lots of little buildings, most of which weren't open to the public. Too boring for a 2 1/2 hour excursion, but then followed by a picnic and wine tasting. Those were much more enjoyable, evidently. Britt said they even have good-looking cows in France, so sent a couple of pictures of those -- one with her in the foreground, too. I've attached the photos -- kind of random, but keeping us involved in what's she's seeing. (the cows are waaaaaaaaaay in the background in the photo with her in the foreground) The one that's kind of dark is Britt in front of a huge wine barrel. They explored the town, including Louis Pasteur's home -- another WOW for me!
I've emailed her late today; guess she'll have a morning message, but probably won't get back to me until later in the day. I'm looking forward to coordinating another time to face-to-face chat via SKYPE on Saturday...Sunday won't work this week, because we're taking Ray to OSU...but that's another topic entirely, and I want to keep this blog about Britt's adventures.
Thanks for hanging in there with us...Britt ALWAYS ends her emails with "say hello to everyone for me" -- she's thinking of everyone, and sends her hellos to all of you! Next installment: all about Germany!
