Briançon

The Rotary meeting was very nice, my club got my an awesome book on the area with stunning pictures, it should help me find some places to visit, and there was some great food as well (got to take back my sweet french flag). School's good, hard, but do able, for some reason at this moment I actually enjoy taking spanish, even considering it's taught in french / spanish at a 5th year level. English is hilarious, everything else is ok,  and I want to drop this civics class which tells me how to be a "good french citizen". I'm taking volleyball and handball, and handball is good, strange to me, I miss frisbee, but I think it's important for me to do sports and keep busy. I was sick yesterday, so I couldn't go to volleyball, but I'm very excited, I loved playing in the United States.

This last weekend I went to this beautiful city in the mountains called Briançon, it's near Italy so north-east of me. There I met up with 13 of a group of some of the best people in the world; exchange students. I was part of 7 Americans, and as well there were 2 Canadians, 1 Brazilian, 1 Bolivian, 1 Korean, 1 Mexican, and 1 Korean. It was SO great to be able to relate with this people, and on top of that they are all nice and hilarious. We went rafting, which was thrilling, hot baths, which I have to return to because I love them so much, and a ropes course in the trees which was adventurous. I love all the people in the group, and can't wait to see them again (we plan to conquer our area, and then the world together). Shout out to Hugo for being the best helper/guide with Rotary ever. Bonne journée à tout le monde!
