Reality Check

Well, it's the grande rentree.....and, within just 3 days we already have a greve - the buses were on strike yesterday - surprise surprise!

One thing about living in France that you have to come to terms with really fast are the strikes.

They are part of your life - they are consistant and constant!

For my son,  it meant finally arriving at school at 11:00am - after I went to rescue him and several employees of his school from a bus stop in Lyon!

At least my daughter didn't have to worry - at her school the kids only go back for half a day  initially during the first week and then start school several days later. So she had a bit of extended vacation time - I didn't hear her complain!
