Tomorrow is the day all kids in Lyon (and probably all of France) dread. The day their summer freedom officially ends, and they have to return to the hallowed halls of learning.
The school supply areas in all the various stores are pretty crazy with all the last minute shoppers. It's been really busy for the last couple of weeks, but it was a zoo yesterday when we were in Carafour. Students of all ages, mostly teenagers, can be seen gathering in groups on the streets to commiserate or plot or whatever. Older students are trudging along the streets from the various train and metro stations pulling gigantic suitcases (thank goodness for roller bags!). Our French daughter's son, Paul, will be entering the equivalent of Middle School and is a bundle of nerves. I'm sure glad those days are behind me!
And, of course, the weather will be beautiful!
