Today, the students from the program along with several young Saumurois, elected officials of Saumur and the US consulate from Rennes were invited by the city of Saumur to dine in a restaurant right next to the château of Saumur. The evening started with the city officials teaching the students how to play local games. This was followed by several speeches, notably by Molly and Evan (Bravo les stagiaires !) and then we sat down to eat. We ended the evening with several group pictures and with a sunset over the Loire and the city of Saumur.
I honestly can't believe how well we have been treated this year and I have a great appreciation for the Saumurois.

The students together!
Looked like the weather cooperated (we were probably having T and L storms in Indiana at the same time these pictures were taken!) What lovely pictures. Thank you again for keeping us updated with your activities :). It is making us wish were were there too!!!
