Normal time to get home after volunteering at the nursing home on Wednesday afternoons: 30 minutes.
Time that it took today: 1 hour.
Why?
Because this is France and people take their right to assemble and protest very seriously. Today there was a manifestation that had been forbidden, so of course it happened, and a large police force in Republique, the center of town where almost every bus and the metro pass through. No busses went through and that metro station was shut down. At least it was warm and sunny so it was nice to stand outside and wait.
On another note...
Here are some pictures from the picnic E.C. and I had in Thabor a Saturday when it was actually very warm with almost no clouds in the sky. Spring is slowly creeping in, even if winter still shows up in the mornings and leaves frost on the grass.
