Bastille Day & Rebecca's Birthday







Finally - "we get to sleep in". That was the comment regarding yesterday. Since it was Bastille Day, there was no school and the girls took full advantage of it! We met for lunch at noon and had the cafeteria staff bring out a cake for Rebecca. We sang Happy Birthday in French, English and Spanish. At 2:45 we departed for a nearby cinema to see Harry Potter. All the previews and commercials were in French and I was getting concerned that the movie would be played in French. But much to my surprise, the film was in English with French subtitles. Bernice and I are not really a Harry Potter fan so the girls had to bring us up to date before the movie started. There was crying, cheering and applause. We stopped in for dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant that was quite lovely. Friday is the last day of school so the girls want to celebrate by...shopping! I know, that's quite a shock so Bernice and I will force ourselves and take them to a few areas for shopping. Saturday morning we depart for Versailles and Sunday it's home. See everyone very soon!
