Today Carmen started her journey to Rennes, France, where she will live and go to school for three months. But it was a start with some obstacles. The flight to Paris was cancelled what we saw in the Internet yesterday. But when we tried to phone to AirFrance it was too late - I was only connected to a speech computer.

Early in the morning at 5:00 AM we started our trip together with Carmen's girl-friend to the airport Stuttgart. Yesterday it has snowed the whole day, so it was a little slippery on the streets but there was not much traffic. At the AirFrance desk we found out that Carmen has to take the next flight, 3 hours later.

So we spent the next 3 hours with Carmen at the airport. Then the time came to say goodbye. This time it was not so hard for me as one and a half year before when Manuel and Philip left Europe. It is only for 3 month and it is not so far away - about 950 km westwards. But for Carmen it was hard - she flew alone to Paris where she got picked up by the organization (Travelworks). From Paris to Rennes she went by train. And tomorrow school starts for here in french.
