Everyone slept late today, so we had breakfast a bit later than normal. Table talk centered on how much fun everyone had on Saturday night, and how they want to play the game again before we leave. The weather is cool and breezy, nice for walking.
After breakfast, some of the kids got to jog to the monastery. After running 4+ km uphill and back, the runs around the parking lot back home should be a breeze.

The day was pretty quiet, with everyone resting and getting ready for this week’s training schedule. Our kitchen ladies served lunch, then left picnic lunches again for dinner. So, we went out for dinner again. One group found an Italian place, complete with pasta, and the other group went back to the standard pizza place. The girls and I were feeling adventurous, even though we went to the stand-by place, and we found a new dish. We were so excited about the lightly breaded, then fried chicken breast served with fries, you would have thought it was prime rib. Still, no fresh veggies, though.
The Internet and Skype were up tonight, so we were able to contact most of the parents. The kids look forward to talking with the folks back home, though some are more forthcoming than others. The boys seem to be a lot quieter and stingy on the details of the trip, while the girls are perfectly willing to discuss the smallest details. At the dinner table, though, there is no difference in talking.
Sheaffer and I have been going over the details of the France trip. Should the rides to Paris not work out, we, with the help of Terri, have lined up a train ride. I am hoping that we will get to see some parts of Paris before we head to the airport, but I am not certain that we will. Sigh, that’s what happens when you travel with kayakers: you get to see water, water, and more water. LOL Oh well.
We had a team meeting last night and reminded everyone of the rules. We only have 10 days left, and we don’t want any mistakes now. By bedtime, everyone was ready to turn in.
Take care,
Marcy
