A Garden Party: our volleyball friends







Bonjour mes amis! Wednesday, June 15, the Menningers and Lee and I went to a wonderful garden party hosted by one of my colleagues at Lycée Vaugelas, Christine, and other "volleyball friends". What a great group of French friends. There were Serge et Fabienne, Christine and Stéphane, Laurent and Irène, Monica, Stéphane and others. We had so much fun visiting and eating delicious French food and drinking rosé wine. We have had so many interesting discussions comparing our cultures and learning from each other this year. We especially enjoyed our discussions yesterday with Laurent, who is a philosophy prof at Lycée Vaugelas. Laurent expressed many ideas concerning life and education in the U.S. vs. France. Perhaps our world leaders could "take a lesson" from Laurent and those interactions and lessons learned during a Fulbright Teacher Exchange. We will surely miss our new friends from this past year. What a fun afternoon!!
Mme. Wallace
