Global warming isn't in effect in Boulogne Sur Mer, where they say it rains all winter and rarely snows. It was odd enough that it snowed the day I left for my very merry Christmas in Cincinnati, but there was snow on the ground when I got back yesterday and started up again this afternoon. It is serious enough that staff members from La Vie Scolaire went to the classes this afternoon to say if you need to leave you can, because of the snow! At first this seemed funny to me, because it's not like it's a blizzard, but apparently the trains have issues or get shut down in the snow and lots of students use them to get to Boulogne for school. As it turns out, all the students needed to leave.
Its been a nice two days back in France so far. We assistants determined within the first kiss on the cheek from a teacher we don't know very well that the New Year must be highly regarded here... each and every teacher says Bonne Annee (Happy New Year) or Meilleur Voeux (Best wishes) along with their entry Bonjours now, and kiss all the other teachers and assistants on the cheek twice, just for the new year... So, bonne annee! Bisou bisou.
