Sans internet (caroline)

Okay, I've been in withdrawal due to the lack of internet, but more than that, I lack sleep! We got off the plane the first day/night and we immediately went to a chocolate factory! I would have enjoyed it better but I was soooo tired. But there was soo much chocolate - I think my lungs were coated in chocolate. You should see the huge gift bags we got! And I ate a piece that had a cherry inside, and it turned out to be alcoholic - it was interesting and kinda strong. But I got to take a ride in a forklift thing - it was fun!
I really like my host Marion. She's really nice and she doesn't speak much french so I can practice a lot. And she has a cat named Showie! For two night though I roomed with Mael - love her too - because Marion had to got visit her father. So far, the class has gone on an iteresting tour of Troyes and eaten at a really cool resturant called L'Odessyee. We had also a boring visit to the Lacoste factory but we made up for it with a birthday party for Nils!! So basically, I love france and the french and want to stay an extra month, or more!!!

    Wow, that chocolate factory must have been tiring.

    My first thought on seeing "L'Odessyee" was that perhaps "Troyes" is a spin off of "Troy"? I don't know...

    A birthday party for Nils! I'm sure he had a blast :)

    Glad to hear you're having so much fun. And, be sure to bring back some of the chocolate for your pauvre prof who made sure they arranged the tour for you this year ;-)
