Colesburg, Iowa is different from Villelongue del Monts, France. Our house is in the country in Colesburg. Our house is in town in France. There is a baseball field in Colesburg, but there is a rugby field in Villelongue. A rugby field looks like a soccer field. In Villelongue there is a river. We threw rocks in the river. I like it here. The towns are also similar. In both towns, there is a school (ecoles), a Post Office (La Poste) and a church (Esglesia).
We left Paris on Saturday morning and drove all day through the beautiful countryside. There were several mountains and gorges caused by the volcanic action from deep within the earth. We had to drive across the tallest bridge in the world! We couldn’t take a picture because our camera was packed under our bikes.
Finally, late at night, we arrived at our rental house. It was too dark to see the Mediterranean Sea when we passed it. But we were able to see it the next day, on Sunday, because it was sunny and clear.
We finally arrived at our destination in Southern France. It was late and dark when we found the house. We had trouble finding the right key to get in.
We found a Soccer ball! We found it OutSide. I played with my mom and Karl in the yard. SOCCER is called football in French.

Hello from the art room....it is wonderful to visit with our travelers!! Keep us in thoughts as you enjoy this wonderful vacation!! We have created whale art that was "humongous" and now are in a RIF contest designing our favorite book covers....the winner from each room will get a personal pan pizza!
