First day of french school and awesome french meals

Today was the first day of school for Ava and Johnny.  Due the whole family lacking in french, we decided to enroll the kids in a private bilingual school.   We were really nervous last night due to the jet lag the kids have been experiencing and the lack of wanting to go to sleep in a timely manner.   To our surprise they must have been tired and settled to sleep pretty fast.

The day didn't start too well.  As we were walking to the bus stop, we see the a bus wiz by and proceed to wait at least another 40 minutes.  Ava was not thrilled and even more so when she found she had to walk another 1/2 mile to reach the school.   Both kids were pretty nervous- Ava refused to say any words in french and Johnny hide behind Wes.  Wes and I pretty nervous leaving them. 

To my relief- I picked them and the both said they had a great day and want to come back.  Both report they made friends and had a great time.  

 

Some of the good food I sampled today- had a great french lunch!

A good part of the old city has these high walls and I am always curious what the homes behind them look like.
