Toussaint!

Time has been flying by!

These past couple of weeks were vacation (I keep having bad dreams about having to go back and teach sooner--I've never had a break that was this long before!).  Toussaint means All Saints--so when people talk about France being secular, they still, in fact, keep certain religious holidays.  For example, on Toussaint, I wanted (actually needed) to buy food.  Couldn't.  Nothing was open--zero, nada.  It's the same policy on Sundays--everyone likes to be with their family, so shops close up.  Weird, but super cool!

Anyway, I spend a week in Luxembourg and a few days in Dijon.  Here are some photos, and maybe I'll post some stories about adventures later (remember, I'm on vacation!)
