TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2008

Tuesday, we had lunch in Anna's apartment and she and I went off for some more classes. This time, students were doing practice interviews in English to try to sell a product to an English speaking purchasing agent. Anna and I did a model one and the students commented about it. Then two or three pairs did the same exercise and suggestions were made by both of us and by their classmates. With some the level of English was quite good. Others were less so. All in all, they did a pretty good job. Later in the year they must take an exam and do the same type of interview with an unknown teacher playing the purchasing agent part.

Anna still had one more class to teach, but I left and met Alexandria at the cafe near the Basilica where she had spent some further time inside including the crypt. We chatted about the visit for a while while we had our apéritif. We went off to check out the bus terminal where we would get the bus for the airport the next morning. The terminal at place Jean d'Arc is only about two or three blocks from the apartment and we get the airport bus right there. Very convenient.
That evening we went to one of Anna's favorite restaurants where she knows the owner well enough to get the tradition "bises", little kisses on both cheeks. We had a meal of tapas which were very good. Back to the apartment to get a good night's rest in preparation for our return flight on Wednesday.
