Hello families,
Yesterday we had quite a long day. After a short bus ride, we went to visit two artisans who are making paper all by hand, and all with natural fibers (cotton, linen, "ortie" (need to look this word up). The man makes paper, and print, his wife to the etchings. We also visited two small villages with wonderful buildings, and raided the small boulangerie-pâtisserie.
We then had lunch in Bergerac, and after a short visit, we walked to the crew station. There we all went to the Dordogne, Joey managed to go IN the Dordogne (a fairly large river). Kids formed crews of 5 (4 rowers and a coxswain). All crews managed to go up and down the river, and make a few turns. Our teachers were National champions!
Kids waited quite some time for families to come to get them, ice-cream and crêpes were in order.
I'll see the students tonight for the big party, then they will spend their last day with the correspondents. We will continue our trip on Monday.
