Maybe you have heard about the volcano that has erupted in Iceland recently, or maybe you haven't. If you haven't, you have now. I am now stuck in France. If I get on a plane, the ash will clog up the engines, the plane will fall toward the earth and, if I don't have a parachute, I will not be able to blog anymore. So, we have to go to Brittany by train tomorrow, which will take about three and a half hours. Yay! My mom bought me some Tintin (adventure comics) books for the ride, which I predict that I will enjoy greatly. They have the best crepes in Brittany, so I am thrilled, seeing as my favorite food is now a crepe. I like to hear from everyone, so please post comments!
See if you can take the TGV train from Paris to Brittany. It goes like 250 kph and everything will whiz by in the window! I checked on line and there is a TGV from Paris to Brittany so tell your mom to buy tickets! And take pictures!
ReplyDeleteHey Lauren, you were right about the volcanic ash damaging airplane engines! Check this out:

So you better stay out of airplanes until those pesky volcanoes are finished (maybe they ate too much Nutella).
Love,
Your Dad

P.S. Miss you a TON!!!!
Your notes are SO informative, and fun reading. With all the weird news about France and their strikes it's surprising that you could get the 3 hour train ride.
ReplyDeleteAre you learning French? (Grandpas always ask lousy questions.)
Love
That darn volcano is messing me up too. I need to get supplies from Europe to make the DNA kits my company sells to customers. They weren't able to fly out last week to make theri deliveries! Stay put and enjoy the crepes. The Swansons rave about Brittany. Mrs Swansons granny has a house there. It looks beautiful. Take lots of pictures. xoMrs.J
ReplyDeleteHey sorry about that last comment. My mom was testing it cuz our commenting wasnt woking but it now!

Does the sky look any different, because of the ash?

Hi Lauren!
ReplyDeleteMy mom said that if i were to go to Scotland to visit my familt there the airport officals would not let me! But my mom also said that it should clear up when we go there. Mayve i'll see you at the airport after I land and when you are about to take off! Or I might see you plane in the sky!
Hey you should also go to the great mosque in Paris. It hid alot of European and North Afican Jews during Worls War 2!!! I think you would be interested!
ReplyDeleteThe volcano has been stopping alot of airplane flights around the world to and from the countries that are covered by the volcanoes smoke and ash. Hope you enjoy Brittany.
ReplyDeleteI love crepes.- Evan B.
ReplyDeletedid you see ash in the sky on the train?
