Kay so I thought I should probably get around to telling you about France itself. It's pretty similar to Canada except, you know... They speak French and what not. But here's an actual list of differences... 1. The toilet is in a separate room from the rest of the bathroom. Very weird for me! Doesn't seem like that big of a deal until you need to wash your hands and someone's taking a shower... That's never a good situation. 2. There is always bread on the table....

Just a quick run through of the people I've met so far in case I name drop and don't explain it... My mother's name here is Benedicte, and my father's is Benoit.

Bonjour mes amies !The flight was awesome, if a little uncomfortable. I got a few hours of sleep between that and a short nap back at the hotel. I had my first French food experience at lunch... I'm still not too sure exactly what I ate but I did try a snail! Guess I can check that off the bucket list! After that we toured Paris... We saw all the major architecture and what not, pictures soon to come! Walking under the Eiffel tower was incredible; and I honestly...
