We went back to school today after a weekend full of cajun music and cajun cuisine. This morning the kids started painting the designs they had sketched on the bus on Friday. It looks great but it is coming together rather slowly. With a little work I'm sure it will be ready by Thursday. It is covered from top to bottom with metaphors and pictures.
Every inch is filled with detail.
Along the roof of the bus is a beautiful purple sky and at the bottom is swampy water. Today we will take the bus to a local elementary school and show it to the children there, and tomorrow it will be part of Alleman's annual multicultural festival. It has been a busy week. While I helped with the bus painting Jay took a tour of Lafayette with the students in charge of making the video for the artifact box. They got some great footage and had a great time.
