Here in France it's super cold, though I'm in the south I'm in the mountains, and it snowed at school, and my friends and I made a french snowman. A few weekends ago our district of about 15 exchange students went to Paris to chill with the district of the far north of about 50 students to see how beautiful Paris is. It was maybe the best weekend of my exchange, and this past week I was super tired because of it. We see the Opera Garnier, which was just really fancy opera, and just when you're in Paris the detail of all the buildings are amazing, there are a lot of tourists as well. We also saw le Sacré Coeur, a big church, and Versailles which was Louis the 14th's Palace, that was also amazing. We finished with a boat tour of the Seine, and I met some really cool people, I want to go visit them in Lille! Also I want to see Notre Dame! In school I've been drifting in and out of various classes that some friends take and with Pairs I haven't been doing so much Italian, but in the near future I want to do more! Also I think I'm going to get Rosetta Stone for Spanish, because sometimes after school I don't have much to do, and it would be nice to improve my Spanish. Right now I'm back in Limoges for Noel or Christmas, and I'm really excited to open my care packages tomorrow! A lot of Pascale's family is here and I've gotten to see Quentin and Camille for the first time in a while and that's really nice. We're going to go do some ice skating for the first time, and I'm going to be passing New Year's with some exchange students. Joyeux Noel et Bonne Année à tous!
Also, in France for Christmas, the light weren't quite up to par with the ones in the States, except for a bit in the big cities, and I like when they outline the castles and fancy buildings with the lights, but even still. Atleast in my family what we did is we went to mass at around 10pm, then came back, eat dinner and forgot Santa (Père Noël) and opened our presents at midnight. I was really happy with the watch and the perfume, and a cool polo from South Africa that my host brother got of the rugby team, and some nice angora socks that I got, but it was kind of sad not to have a Christmas tree, though normally people have them, just not too much real ones. Also I got myself signed up for a trip in Italy in Venice during the carnival and I'm super stocked! À bientot -Clay
