Day 3
My first day at La Giraudiere and I get to go on an excursion with the whole group to La Rochelle. Off we went at 07h30 two hours up the crazy French motorway from Chalais to La Rochelle. Picking up a French man that the owner knew on the way who confirmed our suspicion that French people actually do say "Oollalala".
It was a sweltering day but truly covered in my all day wear sun cream I was ready to take on my life long nemesis the unruly sun. We walked all around the port of La Rochelle and I was extremely amazed at its beauty and attraction. Loads of tourists around which made all of us feel good about stopping so frequently to take some pictures of the pretty place.
I learned so much about everyone and really got to share stories and experiences with so many volunteers. I practiced my French with the American girl who was half French half Italian (wow!) and the French boy who is half French and half like 5 other nationalities (such exciting lives and me just plain Irish, pale and withering in the sun)
It was truly an interesting and new experience to go to a new place with new friends.
That night in La Giraudiere was one of the girls my age's last nights *tear,tear* but we exchanged details and contacts. You never know !
À bientôt,
