Off to the next destination! France. I am so very excited! Along the way we have met a few people, Mab, and Adam. One day Adam sung a song, it was so beautiful, I even teared up at litted. It was so beautiful I had to write it down so I could remember the words. I have learned that the french can cook very well! It is so delicious! A few days went by when we were standing in a chapel, when Thomas introduced me to Brother Ambrose. Brother Ambrose is a teacher of schoolboys and he is very gentle. I was surprised when Thomas started asking all of the questions. For instance, "How do they lift the stones?" and "How are the arches held in place before the key stone is set in?" Then I finally asked "Who planes it all?" Brother Ambrose had the answer almost every question we asked him! It was amazing to hear all of the history and all of the planning and work that was put into the chapel. We then got to tour around and learn even more! Later on Ambrose introduced us to his Big sister, Mayhilde, but she just asked us to call her Nana. We came there on a perfect day because it was Ascension Day! They played a lot of music and almost everyone was dancing! Another day went by and Thomas was watching Roger give directions about placing the stone. All I can remember is feeling faint and falling to the ground, and then it all went dark. I surprisingly woke up to see the face of Matthieu. I looked him in the eye and told them all was well. Later on, Thomas told me what happened and apparently they had tried waking me up, I even lost all colour in my face. They tried everything, Thomas slapped me in the face to try to wake me, but when that did not work he dumped water over my head and I started to regain colour. It was quite frightening but now all is well.
