so I was trying to think of a good picture for this entry and all I could think of was the ice cream. yup, Kate and I found real ice cream, it was simply AMAZING! So on Saturday, we decided enough with the sandwiches, we want Chinese. And just our luck, up the street was an Asian Restaurant, so in we went. After a decent meal, that was finally filling, we were like, What the Heck, lets order dessert. So Sara, looking at the menu goes, Oh yum, Ice Cream. and look, Theres Dark Chocolate Ice Cream-Noix de Coco. Yup, so thats what I ordered. Well when the guy brought out our ice cream, mine was definately white, and I was like, this is really weird. Oh well though, its chocolate. So I took a big bite, and it definately wasn't chocolate. I had ordered Coconut ice cream. I didn't even know they made coconut ice cream. Kate and I had a great laugh about that. The next day, Sunday, Kate invited me out on a picnic with her Madame and her. I agreed and in the hour was on a tram headed to her house. Now its freezing, I believe over night it dropped like 30 degrees and forgot to warm up. So I arrive at the house, and what are we doing? Driving in the mountains. Mom & Dad, you know how much I enjoy driving in the mountains! I convinced myslef it was going to be alright though, Its foggy out, and off we went. Now if you didn't already know, the French are crazy drivers. Think mules in the grand canyon, but in a car. On the way up, Kate and I were in the backseat, trying not to think about the curves. We finally made it to Chamrouse, which is a skiing resort. Well When We got there, Madame dropped us off and said I'll be back in oh 1/2 hour, 45 mins, and drove off. Kate and I looked at each other and started laughing. What were we supposed to do w/ ourselves. So we wandered around and hid out in the Ski Center. One cool thing was the Olympic Torch Bowl. I tried to take a picture of it. Dont know if you can see it or not. Well 45 mins rolled around and Madame showed back up and took us to a shopping center. THis was Kate and I's 7 time shopping in a week. We were not at all excited, but we grined and beared it. Well Madame stops the car, gives us a time in french and some bread and takes off again. Kate and I looked at each other, and went What did she say? We were so confused. So needless to say we spent the next 4 hours in a tiny shopping center staring at eachother and wondering, Why does all the strange stuff happen to us? I mean, who else gets dumped on the side of a mountain and left? lol. Madame finally showed up to pick us up, which we were grateful for, even the dogs were realizing we weren't french. So on the way down the fog has lifted, so now I can see the immense drop offs on the side of the car, and Madame is still driving crazy. This time I was sure we were going to slip off the road and roll down the side. On the way home, Madame insisted on stopping every 5 mins, so I could take a picture of the mountains and old churches to put on here. So all the mountain pictures, are thanks to her. Kate and I got home and couldn't wait to start a "normal" week at school. Well as normal as french school can be:)
