This afternoon Estelle had a playdate with Ines - they haven't seen each other in two and a half months. So naturally they played "nap".
Monday was Thomas' last day off using up some comp time. He relaxed with the girls.
Estelle again playing "nap".
Monday afternoon we went to visit our friends/landlords Xavier and Valerie and their son, my student, Quentin. They gave us fresh zuchinni and tomatoes from their garden and here's what Thomas did with some of them tonight:
Xavier and Valerie's older son and my old student Thomas had just left to go back to his naval academy where he has just been accepted through a competition. His good grade in English is what made the difference and got him in - one of 25 students accepted in the country. I'm not kidding about the English making the difference either.Anyways, enjoying a dip in their gorgeous pool on the grounds of their villa:
That is the Mediterranean you see in the distance - and our apartment is essentially in that little "dip" in the background.
Soaking the pasty legs.
Here's Quentin, fresh off 2 weeks in Paris touring the music scene (he's a rock-star-in-the-making), showing Estelle how to use a skateboard (with no wheels!).
Estelle thinks it is boring.
Okay, off to bed. With the rest of the country. (so weird).
