FOOTBALL IN ST.JULIEN DES LANDES (June '95)
Summer 1995 I worked as a children's courier in France for one of the camping-tour-operators who will sell you a luxury tent or mobile home for the price of an apartment. The fact that the children can play outside all the time and also are being kept busy by the children's couriers activities makes a lot of families choose this kind of holiday.
However much I sometimes struggled to offer a varied programm for the kids and however much I do like football, usually I leave the beautiful game out of the programm. The last time I did try the 4 'til 7 year olds decided after 5 minutes they had had enough and I ended up sitting on top of a climbing reck for the next 175 minutes of my session keeping an overview of the playground.
Somehow this summer football is being played a lot though. On tuesday, my only day off, we played the other British tour-operator on site. Normally you use your day off to get away as far as possible from your working place, or get very drunk. If you could combine the two yor luck seemed to be never ending.
