Thanksgiving in Chambéry with the Driscolls






Bonjour mes amis! We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a great one with the Driscolls, giving thanks for our many blessings. Anne joined me in some of my classes Thanksgiving day where we discussed the meaning of this holiday to Americans and had a great discussion with my Terminale class on "American high schools". Then Irving and Lee joined us at the "boucher" where we picked up our "dinde" for our holiday dinner. We improvised a bit yet enjoyed every part of our "French Thanksgiving Dinner". Friday evening, colleagues from Lycée Vaugelas joined us to meet Anne and Irving. Saturday we had our first real snowfall and went to the marché to purchase food for the day. Saturday evening we took the Driscolls to "Le Sporting" which is a restaurant here which serves traditional cuisine Savoyard which consists of hearty cheese fondue, raclette, and tartiflette. Bon Voyage Irving and Anne!
Mme. Wallace
