To The Beachat Perros-Guirec

We had another busy school day, but by 3:00 PM everyone had finished for the day. Jocelyn helped pick the place we are staying in. She liked it because it is near beaches and Jocelyn loves to swim. The weather held so we drove for twenty minutes to Perros-Guirec North of Lannion. We stopped at Plage de Trestradu, which is a wonderful long sandy beach.

Kevin After School

Jocelyn, Kevin, and Allen all went for a swim. With the moderating effect of the ocean the weather in Brittany is cooler than in the interior of France. While the sun was out, the wind was blowing and it was only 21C outside. Despite the cool breeze, Jocelyn continued to swim while Kevin and Allen built moats and rivers in the sand. When everyone had had enough, we dried off and despite all three children being cold, stopped for ice cream before heading back home to make dinner.
