Gabriel's overnight trip

Gabriel's class left for their 4-day, 3-night class trip to France today. The original departure time from the school was 8:30 AM. Here are the email excerpts from the class' room parent.

1:04 PM CEST:
I just wanted to let you know that the children didn't leave school until 11.45 due to a problem with the bus being stuck in traffic and not arriving at school on time.

So the children will not get to Liebfrauenberg for a while (should arrive 1.30 p.m. or there abouts).

Sigh...it was a French bus company that the school hired. Then came a temporary relief:

1:44 PM CEST:
I have just heard from Frau Marmillot that the children have arrived safely and everything is ok!! They are now going to go and have some lunch!!!

Everything is fine.

But the weather got stormy in Karlsruhe (but the class is in France....). Later in the evening, we got a summary of the day:

9:07 PM CEST:
The children are all in bed. It seems they had some nice weather this afternoon, and have been out walking which is GREAT news !!

Everything is fine.

When the bus finally arrived this morning, it seemed that there were some problems with the luggage (there was not enough room in the bus for it!). But do not panic! - after they got back from their walk this afternoon, everything had arrived!! They didnt need anything from their bags before then anyway, so all was fine.

So the French bus company sent le petit autobus? Last, but not least, a reminder from the room parent about the parents' outing (sans kids) tomorrow night:

We will meet at 7.00 p.m. at Europaplatz in front of the T-Com shop on the corner (opposite "s.oliver"). Look forward to seeing you there.

Too bad that Glenda and I will miss this, since the kindergarten class, and hence Jocelyn, did not go on an overnight trip.
