Palavas:
Right near Montpellier there is a seaside town by the name of Palavas. It's fairly empty at this time of year but during the summer it is a hopping French tourist town. We went twice; once at night, once during the day. At night the canal was lit up beautifully but it was something of a ghost town, as we've said, it doesn't fill up until the summer. During the day, we were able to see hundreds of pink flamingos in the water. Palavas is a historical fishing town, and we could certainly see why - it was in the perfect location for access to the canals and sea! Pictures later!
Fun With Trains:
Fun is an overstatement. And saying that "fun is an overstatement" is an overstatement. We had a little mix-up on Thursday trying to get to Italy. The clocks we had been using all week were set exactly an hour earlier. So we got to the train station exactly an hour later than we had originally planned. Awesome. But we were able to stay an additional night in Montpellier and then catch the next train on Friday, which actually worked out well because we had an amazing view of the Mediterranean Sea for a large portion of the trip.
We're in Italy now (yay) - and we'll post more about it soon!

Funny question...do you have any idea how many miles you've traveled? I have an image of a little red line zigzagging around the Mediterranean and criss-crossing the countries of Europe. It continues to be an amazing adventure unfolding on my computer screen. Melly Flynn
ReplyDeleteWe don't know, but that would be interesting to find out! Maybe we'll try to do that when we get home, could be very interesting!
ReplyDeleteOV’s Mission Statement:
ReplyDelete“Otter Valley Union High School is a place where reflective teaching and learning lead to high expectations for all students and enthusiasm for knowledge encourages success in the global community.”
I wonder what might be learned from a panel made up of the number of OV students who have gone abroad this year, maybe led by Ariel and Emily, if they were to share their thoughts on how they feel education at OV “encourages success in the global community.”
Just thinking out loud.

Wow that sounds like a great idea. We'd definitely be interested in that. Keep thinking out loud =]
