Je suis desole! I know I have not been writing as much as I should but things have been quite hectic and the only time i am on my computer recently is to call people :) ANYWAY last weekend we went to Aix-en-Provence which is the capital of Provence and we also went to Avignon. Both beautiful cities we had a lot of fun taking pictures eating brochette and drinking Cidre! I got to see the Papal Palace in France where 9 Popes (7 recognized popes 2 popes the church did not recognize- long story)Lived and a bridge that was washed away by floods and wars a long time ago and never repaired! lol we also got to see some cool architecture and some really fun fountains! Fountains that are always warm water so people can wash their hands in them so cool eh? We stayed in a REALLY nice hotel we are talking flat screen TV in each room nice!
This week has been pretty good so far as well. I went shopping with my Host mom this morning for groceries at the equivalent of the French Wal-Mart - Dad is does exist! We bought all the stuff I needed to make Pumpkin Pie too! I made it this afternoon when classes were canceled because of another strike oh well at least I got to do something productive! I even learned a new skill I have never made Pumpkin pie from an real pumpkin so I learned how to pressure cook it and puree something that looked kinda like a pumpkin but not really least to say they are much different looking here! But it smells and tastes the same so should be fine even if it is more a light orange than dark orange. tonight I am going to Kat's house for a "petit fete" small party/gathering for CREPES the reason France is amazing well one of the many! Here are some pics of my trip! hope you enjoy got any questions I would be more than happy to answer you!
