Jed participated in his second fencing tournament today in a little town above Valence about 45 minutes from here. We zipped up the interstate and followed the viamichelin directions without any problems whatsoever. We then spent a full day on our feet in a high school gym.
Jed did not end up placing, but he made a lot of progress this week. In his first tournament he lost every match. Today he won two of eleven; ten of which were qualifying rounds. This means that he got eliminated in his first "real" match, but that's ok. He had a great time, and so did I. I watched and photographed from the sidelines while talking to another fencing mom from Montélimar.

Warming up outside
During his last match
Unhooking his body wire
Who is that masked man?
