Yesterday class was in the morning so I got home early enough to wash a load of laundry. Gratefully the rain has held off so the drying process went quickly. I began to pack my bag(s). I have one extra carry-on to hold the things that I need until the end of my European excursion, some of which will not come back to the States with me.
Last evening a group of us, about 22 students, went out to dine at Le Safari in the old town. We had a very nice time. I have so enjoyed the young people that I have met here. The girls from China have been especially appreciative of our friendship. I hope that I can keep in touch with them. Facebook will be most useful for this. I reached home at midnight.
This morning I finished packing. It is hard to believe that I will be on my way from Nice for the last time tonight. The people have been so kind, and I've learned so much about France and French. The only thing that I did not do was connect with French musicians in a meaningful way. Practicing was not possible either, so I feel really rusty now, but the summer will be time to revive that. However, no regrets, it's time to look for other opportunities and sharing.
This afternoon I have class, but I will stay only until 4:30, after the break. Then I will return to the apartment. Michele is making me supper before I leave for the train. Wei-Wei is going to meet me at 7:00 to assist with the walk/dragging of bags to the station. I am grateful for all these things.
Blessed Good Friday, Dear Reader. I hope to return to this page after Easter. See you then.
