Days 3 & 4: Mass & School

Days 3 & 4: Mmmm...breakfast. A lot of these posts have a great deal of food in them. We definitely ate a lot! Early on Day 3, we trampsed over to Sarah's and feasted on some oranges, oatmeal, and baguette. Then we attended mass at the gothic cathedral at the center of downtown. We wore coats to keep warm in the cold stone building, sang Latin pieces, and listened to the priest's sermon, albeit short and French, obviously we didn't comprehend! It was beautiful and I will never forget it. I am always amazed by how God exists everywhere, how He has always been here, and how I can experience His love through a tongue I don't even understand. Sunday in Clermont was very quiet; all the families were at home resting and the streets were quiet. We decided to live like the locals do, and Sunday was quickly over as we headed home to take naps and have a late dinner.

The next day, Sarah received her Christmas presents from back home, so we got to watch her open up all her gifts.

She was SUPER excited about her watch. Good call, Mom!

"YAY! Mom even wrapped my presents!"

After lunch, we headed over to Sarah's school and watched her teach SIX one-hour classes of conversational English to French business graduate students. She did great and I was so proud of her! She had Aaron and I speak a little bit about ourselves to the students, and I hope I did America proud. I did my best not to say "like" or "whatever," so hopefully they were pleased. Ha! Let us know, Sarah. :o) Lastly, because it's so important, we had Tunisian food for dinner. It was soooooo good. I have to find a Tunisian place to eat in Houston, and I hope it is just as delicious.
