French connection



In Macae, I have started giving French classes to a group of really keen students who asked me to. So after classes on Fridays, we sit down in the refectory with Uelinton, Aurelio, Felipe, and talk about France and learn a bit of French. Our last class was about French culture, French food to be more specific. So we talked (dreamt!) about French bread, crêpes and croissants, about cheese and wine... Things that these kids have never seen or tasted but that most of them had heard of - like Uelinton, who'd heard about the Brie in a local TV series (telenovela) and about the crêpe suzette in a cartoon... I'd love to make them taste all these things, but they're, obviously, really expensive here. I'll try and organise a crêpe cooking class with them...
