So you are probably all wondering where I have been! Well I am glad to say pretty busy! This last week I was in class everyday and unlike many of my friends I tested into the correct level and did not have to be moved out of it. Its tough but I think I can do it with a little work. I also went last Thursday with the API group (thats who I am here with) to play LAZER TAG! It was a ton of fun, we all had a blast though Kat did run into a wall and now has a black eye . . . but she is ok! After the game we went out with some of the other API students and had Pizza- Pizza here is different, good probably better for you but not at all like what we have in the states. Saturday morning my family left to go see there grandchildren- Arthur who is almost one was getting baptized - if you don't remember my family is VERY catholic their oldest son is a Monk. So Gaelen and Kat spent the weekend over here- We went to a movie on Saturday night- Ratatouille! I understood a lot more than I though I would- its good and at this point probably already on video at home at the rate movies come out here. Sunday we took the Telepherique up to the Bastille and hiked out way down it was beautiful and a ton of fun! we all really had a great time- took a ton of pictures! I also figured out SKYPE this weekend and if any of you have it let me know it is the most amazing invention ever! Talking to my parents with real conversation for the first time in literally a month was amazing! I hope everyone had fun at my dads surprise birthday party! Last night! I can say it now because its over :) ALSO I got your letter Aunty Deb thanks for the pictures of the wedding it made for great conversation with my host family! Well this week is pretty run of the mill so far as France is concerned - going to classes home to watch the French game shows and then getting ready for a trip to Annecy this weekend its a pretty town in France API is taking us should be a lot of fun! :) Questions, comments, concerns? lol Love you all!
