Bonjour again :) Today started just like any old school day - getting dragged out of bed because I am terrible at waking up to alarms! Erin nicely threw me out of bed around 8am and we headed to the breakfast buffet...French style of course. Then we went straight to class and had our first lesson on European history and the formation of the EU. Woo! Then we headed to lunch just lilke yesterday and ate with everyone in the program. :) It was really nice. Headed t...

Bonjour! Today was the first day of classes! It was a tad early of a wake up call at 8am, and then Erin and I went to the breakfast they have for the summer students. It was pretty funny though because it was definitely nothing like we are used to in America. The French small breakfast buffet consisted of croissants, bread, cereal, milk, orange juice, coffee, and the occasional slice of ham lunchmeat.

Everywhere you look there is a beautiful building with breathtaking black iron balconys that have swirls and curves and hints of gold with flowers draping over them.

Bonjour! I finally made it to Evry, France! It was a long flight - about seven hours to be exact - and it was awesome! They give you a pretty large meal shotly after taking off. There was a main course choice (I had beef with mashed potatoes, yum!) and they also brought you bread, water, hot chocolate, a small serving of cheese, lemon pound cake, tapicoa pudding, AND a curried chicken with rice side dish. I obviously could not finish it at all but it was great ...
