Winter vacation takes place in February in France. This is not to be mistaken with Christmas vacation in December/January, nor with spring vacation in April.
There is no school during this time. The actual dates vary by region, but overall, students and teachers get a little over two weeks off. This is an ideal time for families to go skiing.
As for me, I may just be skiing in Ireland. Currently, snow is blanketing the Emerald Isle. The Dublin airport was shut down days ago. I fly to Kerry tomorrow where my friends and I will rent a car to see the winter wonderland that is Ireland.
I've been mentally preparing myself for driving on the other side of the car and road. This could prove even more cumbersome with ice slicked roads and Irish drivers unaccustomed to wintery road conditions.
After a two day rest/break from break in France, I'll be hopping another plane to Madrid to visit two of my wonderful colleagues from last year in Valladolid, Spain. Much of my Spanish has disappeared into the back corners of my brain, although words here and there can still be retrieved. I hope.
See you in March...
A good evening, disposal and can't see.
