Loches Sous La Neige








When I arrived back from my winter vacation, it had started to snow in France. We had one day of snow that lasted more than a week because of the freezing temperatures. It was sunny and beautiful all week, but because it was so cold the snow didn't budge. I had never seen snow last that long without it snowing again. Now it is wet and rainy, though they've forecasted more snow this week. Last time, the buses for school didn't run the entire week, so each day at school was pretty boring. I'm hoping the panic doesn't set in again this week if it does freeze. Its a different experience living in the country, because 60% of our students are bused in from small towns. When the buses don't run, the in-town kids know that the majority of students won't be there, so they don't come either, but the teachers are required (except if absolutely unable) to show-up. Anyway, it was interesting to see Loches in the snow. Especially this fountain...
