April 6

Monday morning, all is ready, everyone is on time! Today we left Lourdes and the wonderful owners of the Gave Hotel. We all had rooms on the facade of the hotel. Therefore we all had balconies! Braedan and Cole will miss their relaxing moments in the fresh air... The group travelled from Lourdes to Carcassonne where they spent a few hours in the old Roman city that has skillfully been preserved. The Bascilica was visited and a few of the girls sang for the visitors. They made us proud as they shared their gifts. The afternoon was spent back on the bus as we went on to Vivier. The group experienced a Traffic jam, a bouchon, Thankfully it did not last too long. We are now experts regarding "turn abouts".

In Vivier we are staying in a former Monastary that also served as a prison during the French Revolution. We had delicious lasagna for supper and some free time exploring our new lodgings. Some of the students took advantage of the time to learn the game of "crib". Tomorrow we are off to Rivier country.
