Tours in the Snow

On Monday it snowed in Tours-- something that doesn't happen every year. As of today (Friday) schools in the countryside, like Langeais are still not getting bus service, even though the snow has mostly disappeared, and there was only about 3 inches of accumulation in the first place. There is no system in place to deal with inclement weather in France. Schools don't even officially close when there's snow, they just don't run the buses, meaning most students don't show up. Even city bus service was suspended for two days. Brendan and I are enjoying the extra time off after a busy vacation with my family, who were lucky enough to escape on Tuesday morning. By Wednesday, all the trains out of Tours had been canceled due to the cold.

On Monday afternoon, Mom, Meg and I took a walk and got some great shots of the city in the snow.
