Yesterday, we experienced our first "greve". Not sure what it is? I first saw the word on a sign posted at Yanni's school advising parents that on the 23rd they would need to make sure their child's teacher was at school before sending them. Then, Tomee came home and informed us that she had no school on Thursday "a cause du greve". Thursday arrived, Tomee stayed home, Yanni had school (he wasn't happy about that). It was a national strike day and many teachers, transportation workers, etc were on strike. For what, I'm not quite sure but it was amusing to watch from our window as they marched past, chanting and waving their flags. I wonder how many more we'll experience before our time is up?
