Wednesday 1/18: Sun! Basketball!

Today was lots of fun! I slept in, had breakfast, wrote some letters, and then had lunch with Catherine and Margot. This afternoon, Margot and I walked to the post office to mail my letters (where we were invaded by the mail carriers, who were protesting job cuts and were walking around with a huge banner, asking people to sign their petition). Then we headed over to the basketball court behind the middle school and shot around for a bit. It was fun taking turns practicing different kinds of shots. And I taught her the lay-up drill that I learned when I was on the CHS basketball team. It was sunny and warm and it felt great to be out running around! Plus, we have to train for when Mark gets here—we don’t want to embarrass ourselves and I know that he’s been practicing…

When we got home, we had some tea and had a great time going through one of Catherine’s clothing catalogues, looking at the pictures and giving our opinions on which ones were cool and which ones definitely weren’t!!

Then we played cards for a while—Margot is actually really good! She beats me a lot of the time!

This evening I got all of my paperwork ready for the VISA appointment I have tomorrow afternoon in Bordeaux. I won’t be teaching tomorrow because I have to take the train up to my meeting and it’ll take all day!
