We haven't been busy here on the blog these past five weeks, but we have shared our trip with everyone at Belmont. You can see our trip presented on the board after the lift at the bottom of the stairs going up to the first floor. Photos, texts and....US! Gambetta will have an opportunity to see it after the Christmas holidays.
Do take a look at Belmont while it is still there.
Thank you Mireille, Simone and Paule for your presentation of Scotland in class in November.

21 -- Simone shares her memories of Scotland
Simone writes:
What part of our trip did I prefer?
It’s difficult to answer. Everything was very interesting but I certainly preferred the northwest area. There, nature has remained unspoilt. Few people live there because the ground is very poor. The wildlife was also wonderful. There were lakes (lochs) everywhere, often with the ruins of a castle in the foreground and the sky was blue. It was magical. I would like to return to this area to hike in the mountains.

17 -- Mireille's contribution to this blog

What a fantastic day visiting Urquhart Castle!
I will never forget the bagpipe player (also called a “bagpiper” or a “piper”) on the terrace of the Castle. I enjoyed the visitor centre with the audio-visual presentation and the view of the castle’s ruins. We spent one and a half hours cruising Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal and discovering the wonderful scenery. It was a beautiful day; it was a great day!
Her photos of this day in Scotland are at Post 18 (coming soon).
