Today was a day that I had been dreaded before I even arrived in
France. This was the day that Bradford
had to leave to go back home. We got on
the Metro with him and helped him find his train. Thankfully we got there early because we went
to the wrong station. Then Bradford
thought his seat number was the platform number and he went to the wrong
platform. But eventually we got him on
the train. I was already late meeting
the missionaries and didn’t really want to see his train leave. So waved goodbye to him through the window
and walked away. Bradford said that as
the train was leaving, he felt like his heart was staying behind.
We didn’t have much time to be sad because we needed to make a mad
dash for the other station to meet the missionaries. They helped us buy a month pass for the Metro
which was so expensive. 52 euro
each.
After getting the passes, I gave the kids some money and they went
back to the Lille Europe where the mall was and I went home to collect
myself. Leaving the kids was hard, but
they are so independent and really getting this Metro thing down. It’s weird to think that my kids who can’t
even drive yet, are able to get all over town on their own. I think they like the independence, and I’m
getting used to it.
We then went to the zoo together and walked all over. It actually is a pretty good zoo considering
it is free. I think we’ll go quite
often, especially to see the cute monkeys and lemurs. Alice was excited to see that there were
alpacas. I never knew she liked them so
much.
