The window of our classroom looks out over the central port of Les Sables.
Here Marjorie Martorella and Amanda Walker are more focused on the view
coming from their computer screen.
Here Fabrice shows the different cables, input, and network connections that keep the computers working. Next year this lab will be upgraded and the network will be connected to the world wide web. For the moment the computers are linked in a closed network.
Early risers among the group had already read the morning paper containing
the report on the ceremony at the Mayor's office on Monday where the WVU-Vendéens
were officially welcomed to Les Sables. Unfortunately our arrival
is upstaged by the first game of the World Cup of Soccer, held in Paris
this year.
The editors were thus obliged to put the news on WVU-V on one of the
inner pages... The photo below was taken just outside the reception
hall and features all the WVU-Vendéens along with dignitaries of
the Mayor's office and Les Sables, as well as some members of our gracious
host families.
Stay tuned to WVU-V!
