SCHOOL REPORTS School Reports

It was the second day of the France expedition.

Although there was a forecast of bad weather, the blue sky also appeared, making it a pleasant morning.

They enjoyed choosing their own breakfast at a local bakery that had been highly recommended by players and staff who had previously gone on the France expedition.

After having breakfast, the players gradually started to be able to clean up by themselves.

After tidying up their belongings, it was time for sightseeing at Mont Saint-Michel.

Even while traveling by car, the players’ spirits lifted as they began to see it in the distance.

After arrival, the wind was strong, but although the weather was cloudy, there were occasional sunny intervals, which added to the mystical scenery.

With local school trips overlapping, it was quite crowded, and unfortunately, we couldn’t go all the way to the top, but we went down to a place accessible only at low tide and played tag there.

After that, since the area is also famous for dairy farming, we stopped by a nearby farm and were specially allowed to enter inside the farm.

Afterwards, we learned how to make ice cream at a factory that uses freshly collected milk.

After that… we were treated to ice cream.

This ice cream was so delicious... It was impressive that the children kept smiling afterwards.

After that, we returned to the accommodation and had dinner, enjoying the locally famous galette made by Coco-san.

Everyone said "Delicious!" and Coco-san looked happy as well.

Tomorrow, we will hold an exchange event at a local elementary school. The children were also excited.

And from tomorrow afternoon, we will shift our focus to the weekend tournament.

We will combine training with sightseeing in Dinan yesterday and Mont Saint-Michel today, and we will also have a training match with Dynamo Kyiv, who are staying next door.

* Today, the players woke up very early and were sleepy at dinner time. Before going to bed, Coach Tsukamoto also made a comment about this, and the players went to bed earlier than yesterday. They are firmly maintaining the balance of "doing things seriously when it's time to do so."
