All Apologies


I am sorry for the lack of posting lately, school has been rather overwhelming and I haven't been anywhere too interesting. Last weekend we went on a day trip to what could technically be called a beach, but was in reality more a rainy hellhole. We went on a boat ride for two hours, no one told us where we were going or when we would get off. I turned out we went in a circle, and ended up back at the bus. Then we drove for another half hour to a cold, rainy shore to eat lunch. They wouldn't let us eat on the bus so we all hid behind an abandoned building to eat our cold sandwiches and water.

After that we went to Nantes, which was similarly miserable at first but cleared up for an hour or so. Jessica and I ate enormous crepes, and bought french striped shirts. Later that night there was karaoke, and Sunday we all took it easy. Other than that not much has happened.

The main streets in Angers are all torn up because they are building a tram, but it is taking a long time because they keep finding skeletons. I had a test this week, and another one on Monday. I only have three days of school left, though, then its of to Paris and London.

Tomorrow we are going to Normandy to see the WWII memorials, which should be really interesting, and hopefully we will have nice weather. I will try to post pictures on Sunday.
