Last week:
From Saturday until today, I've been with my family in the mountains. It was the WHOLE family! About 25 people in one house!
Saturday afternoon, Chantal, Oscar, and I left Lyon with her daughter (Sylvie), Sylvie's husband (Charles) and their son (Aougust). We stayed at the family house in this really small town called Devesset. The house was big so almost everyone fit. Oscar and Pauline's brother (Alex) slept outside in a tent!
Everything was crazy!There was so many people speaking at the same time and really really fast French, I didn't understand anything. But a lot of them spoke English and would explain things to me. One of the families had a student from Italy staying with them and he didn't speak any French! Just English. So I would listen in when they explained things to him. haha.
Sunday morning everyone went to church and then we went shopping in the town Chambon. Other things we did this weekend were: going to Lac de Devesset (a lake), getting fresh milk from farm, playing in the hay fields, fishing, driving around the backroads, and I went running.
It was a lot of fun. Everyone was so nice, the food was great, and the land was beautiful! A great way to spend the hoilday weekend!
This week:
On Wednesday, our school had an outing to the small town Annecy in the Alps. It was a really cute little town with a beautiful lake. Andy, Gina, Sabrina, the Rachels, and I rented a paddle boat and took it to the center of the lake and went swimming. It was soooo wonderful!
That night, Andy, Gina, and I went to go see Of Montral and TV on the Radio in concert! It was amazing! The show was at the old Roman amplitheatre.
Thursday night, I went to Gina's for dinner with Andy because it was her birthday. Her family is super nice and funny. They were telling jokes the whole night! She lives in Tassin so her dad drove us back to the city because it was late.
This was my first weekend in Lyon. Friday I went to go see Harry Potter 6 with Gina and Andy (it was in english and had french subtitles). So good!!!! For the rest of the day/night, I took it easy and stayed home.
Saturday Andy, Gina, and me meet up to go to the open air market along the Saone river. I bought some apricots and they are yummy!!! We went shopping afterwards and had lunch at a café. That night, Gina came over for dinner at my house because Dr. Curtis-Smith and Fabienne (who works for my mom) were having dinner with us. It was fun. Then we meet up with Andy again and went out on the town. We went to these discothèques that are big boats on the Rhone. We danced the night away.
Sunday Gina and I booked our plane tickets to London for next weekend!!! Yay! We won't have too much time there be it will be fun :) We then went to the public pool to swim and lay out some. It was a great relaxing day!
