Monday has come and it is Back To School for Leonardo!
We are all set! After a good night sleep, the alarm goes off at 7.30 am and a new sunny day is waiting for us!
Breakfast is served on the terrace (a buttered toast, fresh pineapple juice, cornflakes and yogurt) while the only sounds we can hear are birds chirping and the rustle of the big palm trees’ leaves…
8:15 : time to go! We get on our bike and ride to school (we have got a scooter ! No car needed here).
Leonardo is very excited to get to know his new teacher and his new classmates.
Few minutes later, we arrive at Global Village School welcomed by Gerry Morgan the Principal, from Victoria ( British Columbia – Canada) who founded the school in 2010.
After sorting out few practicalities, Leonardo gets his uniform and he is ready to join his class with teacher A.
We follow him to the class to greet the teacher and the kids. After few hesitant seconds that took Leonardo to step into the room, kids stop chatting, look at him and ask his name, where is from, how old he is… He timidly answers and immediately spots a map on the wall: he turns to it and point to a far-away-Spain resulting in a general surprised “ohhhhh wow” from the cheerful crowd. The ice is broken !
We leave him to write the first page of a new chapter of his life!
Have a nice day Leonardo!
