More Interesting Happenings Reported
STRETCHING CLASS, UNIVERSITY GYM--The teacher asked her students to spot a rock on the rock climbing wall before them. This was to help their balance as they performed a particular exercise. Eleanor picked a rock and noticed it looked like a mouth. Wow, and those two rocks above it looked like eyes. There was a nose. The mouth started to sing to the music and the eyes started to blink. Before she knew it, the wall before her was a chorus of musical faces. Eleanor lost her balance.

The Weather
It snowed on the highway last week. It snowed a few days ago in town at 5 o'clock in the morning. The snow never stays long. Thus, Eleanor knows it's out there but has not seen it with her own eyes. She did see a puddle of ice on Sunday.

Sports
More rock climbing! (But not with Monsieur Mont St. Victoire. Eleanor decided to expand her circle of mountainous friends).

Culture
CHRISTMAS IN PROVENCE--The city of Aix, a miniature city of lights. There are lights in the trees and a canapy of "lumières" over the main street. There is a Christmas market and a massive evergreen in the center of town.
