L'arrivée enfin! (At last, we have arrived!)

Bonjour from La Giraudière! After many hours (too many to mention) of travel by plane and bus, we finally arrived at La Giraudière at around 5 pm France time (that is 7 hours later than Memphis time). When we arrived, we were welcomed by Dr. Reginald Dalle and his brother Bruno Dalle and after finding our rooms and exploring a bit, we went out to the "barn" (a beautiful gathering space) for a cold buffet and some much needed cold drinks - Orangina was of course the favorite choice of students and teachers alike. Fortunately, the airport signal is working just great so I am updating the blog tout de suite (right away). La Giraudière is so beautiful and the girls are settling in nicely. Stay tuned, I will be adding more pictures after dinner (and showers!).  A tout à l'heure! (See you later!)
