THE OUTING IN TOURS

Friday 23rd January we arrived in Tours at about 1 pm. We sheltered from the wind in the station and lunched. A few took photos, especially the Spanish students. After this snack the students divided into groups : the Germans with their partners, the Belgians on their own and the Spanish with us, their partners.

It wasn’t easy to keep up with the Spanish students who were buying everything in every store; while Oriane and Aurore looked on helplessly. This included trying on hats, glasses, scarfs; and even a tiara with the added bonus of posing for Cassandra’s keen photographic eye.

Then a quick Spanish snack to boost energy levels before taking out our purses and heading for Ashton and Katcher where Cintia, Carlota and Olalla bought three Rolling Stones T-shirts in different colours (green, grey and purple). Next we went to Claire’s where the French Sarah bought a pair of earrings for Carlota. After asking Aurore and Orianne to look after the Spanish students, we went back to Ashton and Katcher so Léa could buy Spanish Sara the fourth Rolling Stones T-shirt, white this time. Back and forth we went, trying to find our partners who played the fashion victims. We only found Sara who Léa give her present to. We raced to catch the bus, because we were late. Once, in the bus, the French and Spanish Sara(h)s each gave their presents to their partners (Spanish and French). Back home in Château du Loir, we headed for the pub (only to play billiards).
