Thanks all
My family had birthday dinner with our foreign exchange ‘daughter’ Dasha yesterday. She & I both have the same birthday (41 years apart)
We spent the day at Notre Dame and South Bend
Notre Dame has winter break from Thanksgiving to Feb 3. The ND fencing team has 70 members. Top 6 fencers from each weapon come back Jan 5 for extra practice/training. Dasha appears to be 3rd or 4th position for Women’s Saber so she may be starting for ND as a freshman.
Currently we are in a rented cabin with no TV, no WiFi and barely a cellphone signal. Plans to hike in the woods, cook s’mores and enjoy family time for a couple days
