After a good night's sleep, Madame was able to join Jeanne and the librarian from our sister school at mass. It was a very nice Pentecost Sunday. We also saw Melissa and her host brother at mass. During the service, the priest invited all those who were just confirmed and those who were confirmed last year to come forward for the intecessory prayer. When he learned that Jeanne would be confirmed in 2 weeks, he invited her as well and then he invited Madame forwward as well as a "visiting American". After mass, Madame got caught up on the activities the girls have been doing and she stressed that the girls need oto post messages to the blog!
The librarian and her husband joined Madame and the teacher hosting Madame (Laure-Helene) for a garden lunch of mango chicken and rice with French cheese and fresh strawberries. Miam! Later, Madame went with Laure-Helene and her husband to visit the town of Compiegne where there was a wine and cheese festival. Then, they went to a small village festival outside Compiegne where there was some really wonderful theatre. Laure Helene and her husband have invited two English teachers to dinner and Madame is ready now to enjoy their company and eat some French barbecue! (Hoping as well that the girls will document their experiences of the last two days here at our blog.
