Desolée for not updating sooner - I have been soooo busy this last week! I'm getting very stressed about my upcoming travels (and stressing out my travel companion as well I'm sure) and I've had tests, excursions, side trips, etc. etc. So, what have I been up to?
*Bibliothèque Anglophone -
In Angers there is an American Library where international students like myself can go to check out English books and where French people who are learning English can go to speak and learn. Last week a friend in the program and I went to play board games and eat pizza with the french, and we ended up being the only ones there who were native English speakers! It was kind of fun to explain different American expressions to them and feel educated for the first time in the last 3 weeks. Tonight a friend Katelyn and I are going to watch "All the King's Men" in English and have a discussion with the french. Lol I like how I call them "the french".
*Transportation -
Getting around in Angers has been crazy because they are putting in a tramway, so there is always a lot of traffic and the main streets have been backed up. It is amazing how narrow the streets are here and how close cars come to hitting other cars, people, etc. I've been using the bus since I live outside of town, and that hasn't been too bad. I also walk a lot too, so that's been nice considering all the cheese I have been eating! Speaking of, I've gone on 4 runs since I've been here, and eating enough food to feed a small country...not good.
*Excursions -
We've gone to eat in a cave, see 3 chateaux, and seen prehistoric rocks. I'll explain more later, but here are some pictures:
Me and some friends at the Mushroom Museum Restaurant...underground!
Chateau no. 1, 2 and 3
My two besties James and Katelyn à la plage in Carnac...it was so pretty that day!
Chris!
Boring rocks with no real history...just being honest people.More updates later!
