Barcelona!!!!!!

After a train ride from Rennes to Paris, then an aftertoon along the Champs Elyses, Adelle and I boarded a bus that would take us to the cheap airport outside of Paris. And finally, after a cramped Ryanair flight and a taxi ride later, we have arrived in our youth hostel! Right now, we are just getting ready for the day, and I am proud to say, wearing shorts!!!!! We havn´t seen much of the city yet, but from the cab drive last night, it looks gorgeous! Once we meet up with the rest of our friends here, we might be heading to the beach! The hostel were staying at is wicked cute. And clean, don't worry mom. The reception was so nice last night when we came in, we got a free map and some advice on where to go and how to get there. We got free breakfast this morning, typical european coffee and bread (im really beginning to like this) and of course, we wash our own dished here!
Okay, I just checked the weather, 60degrees today, short weather or not?
Bizzzz!

Vacances!

Hey Everyone! I hope you all had a great easter break!!! I was so thrilled that I got to talk to some of you! For easter, I spent the weekend with a friend of mine, Adelle, from PA, and her host parents at their beach house in Saint Cart. The weather was gorgeous, I collected so many seashells! We spent the weekend relaxing on the beach, eating wonderful food, talking long walks, knitting, and of course, speaking french all the time! It was so relaxing and a wonderful break from my somewhat crazy host family.

The week passed by as it normally does. I went to class, which is sometimes interesting, sat in cafes with friends, knitted, walked a lot, and other things of that nature. Friday was absolutely gorgeous here and I spent the day walking around the Parc du Thabor. All the flowers were blooming, I think I am going to miss the parc the most when I leave. Oh, and I also joined this theatre group here in rennes. Its just a few international students and were putting on a spectacle on May 7th. It is so much fun and the teacher, Pascal, is crazy in an awesome sort of way.

I don't know if everyone knows this, but I am on a two week vacation right now! My plans are as follows:

Paris

Barcelona

Rome

Florence

Venice

Milan.

I leave on Monday and I am literally jumping up and down, im so excited to go! Sunshine, warmth, and new places...my kind of vacation! Not like France really hasn't been one big vacation!

The really crazy part is that when I come back I have four weeks left! A part of those four weeks will be spent studying for finals, and the rest we will be traveling around France whenever we can get away!

Oh, and I also have to find a dress for Pat and Jana's wedding!!!!!!!

I'll try and pop into an internet cafe to let you all know how my travels are going!

As the italians would say....Ciao!!!!!
