The Weather...
It is currently 24°F out right now, and it's not even snowing!!! What's up with this! I'm not complaining that it's below freezing, I just wish that when it is below freezing, there's snow outside. On another note, today we're having some neighboorhood friends over for lunch, and I'm making dessert! My mama's apple crisp. It's so yummy! I hope it turns out okay. I'll post a pic when it's done.

Some pictures :)
Here are some pictures since the last ones. I'll try and put captions on most of them.
Crêpe night!! |
I ate mussels for the first time at crêpe night... It was actually kind of good :| |
My first meeting with my Rotary club! The meetings are the last monday of every month. The dinner's really good!! |
They had yellow, purple, and red cauliflower.. Strange, I know. |
Before... |
After. It turns out they like to smother their cream puffs with cream. This one was coffee flavored :) |
This coffee was smaller than my palm. And I have small hands. |
Photobomb scale: 6 |
Photobomb scale: 10 |
This is the view only 1/8 of the way up the mountain on the 17 km walk. |
The lunch afterwards was really good! |
2 months in!!!
I can't believe it's already been 2 months!! The time here flies by, but it seems like forever since I've been in the States! I've really haven't done a lot since the last time. I've been caught up with friends and school. I was finally able to start taking notes in class! Well, only from one teacher because the other talks to fast. Anyway, it's an accomplishment! In Villefranche, the town with my school, there's a main road with boutiques on the sides like you see in all the movies. About 3 weekends ago, there was an outside market and HUGE sale! I went with some french friends. It was really fun! I bought a scarf for half off! And it's one of those really warm winter scarves. Lets see... One of my mom's friends came over with her two daughters whose ages were about 9 and 12. I played Monopoly and Uno with them and my sister. We had a really good lunch. It was actually a dinner/lunch because we ate at about 3. We don't eat dinner here until 8, so It was actually pretty nice. I also went to a circus! It was really cool :) There were the usual animales, but there were also camels, and seals, and these really weird animals, they looked like Braham cows. And some other weird animals. There were also cats... Cats. Anyway, that's about it. I haven't really done anything else interesting. I'll upload some pictures after this, but that was it. Today starts the two week vacation, and I've got a lot of things planned with my family. Two dinners with french people, one with my french friends and thier families, the other I forgot who; Walibi, an amusment park; two of my aunts houses; Halloween with french friends (should be interesting...); and going to a beach on the Mediterranean. I'll write a new one after this about the trips, but that's it for this one, Seeya!
