Jack, Kate and I now are traveling with our friend, Marie-Andre. We have been friends since I stayed with her 13 years ago when I brought high school students to France. Kate and Jack are doing a great job speaking French and Jack gets lots of compliments on his French and his good accent! Here is Marie-Andre, Jack and Kate in front of "le phar des baleines" a lighthouse on the island "Ile de Re" in the Altantic by LaRochelle.
We went to "phar de baleines" today.It was a beautiful day. The skies were blue and we loved the ocean. We learned all about the science of how lighthouse developed. We stacked rocks just like other people that had visited before us.
Kate and I dug the world's biggest sand castle and deepest lake. We found lots of colorful shells, red, orange, yellow, blue and purple. We found big pieces of rock called "calcaire" in French. This rock is formed by crushed shells compacted together under the ocean. We don't know how to say it in English.
Saint Martin en Re. We stopped by this pretty island village to see the boats and look in the shops. Then we went back to the beach to swim and look for shells.
