Festivity

December 3rd

It snowed last night on the mountains and on my walk to school I looked out on the white peaks framed by the palm trees in the main square. They have put up silver lights in the trees outside my window, and today some men with a cherry-picker were wrapping lights round the palms. Ile Rousse is looking festive: the plane trees have their spiky little baubles, like ferrero rochers, and the clementine trees their beautiful orange fruits.
