Just to clarify I'm talking about stuff that happened inbetween April 26th - May 13th.
Literally just after EuroTour, my mom came at met me at the train station in Paris with Camille! It was a double shock with the end of EuroTour, but yet it was so normal so quickly, just there were times the first couple days where it was just not real, and I felt like it must be the year before in the US. Camille was really nice and we got to stay at her appartement which was lik in the straigh up center of Paris! We could easily take the metro to go anywhere, so I gave my mom my tour of Paris, and we didn't do too shabby, in two days we saw pretty much every major attraction!
After that we descended to my hometown of Chateau-Arnoux/Montford, Quentin drove us back. My mom and Pascale got along really well and liked to just talk for hours alone. I showed my mom my life, I didn't really care about showing her the attractions, just my school, a few classes, and my host families and I think she had a good time seeing all that.
After chilling at Rebecca's house, my mom and I took a train back up to Brusselles in Belgium! There we hadn't really planned anything, but had a great time taking a tour or the centre ville, buying chocolate, beer all that good stuff. We even found ourself in the plain middle of a bustling gay district, with a lot of men with shaved heads. Everyone Belgium spoke so many languages, English was a necessary, that there were Dutch and French speakers. Our hotel happened to be in an Arab neighbourhood, so we had Arab cuisine which was delish. We also had the some classic Belgium dishes which all included fries, I'm kind of just sick of them now, too greasy.
Next was Bruges which was a chique small Venice, where one can rent a bike eat a waffle then just bike around chilling with nature and geese. Very sweet town. We trained back to Brussells, saw the Atomium a huge building, and little whizzer!
From there was London where we stayed in a straight up prison, with a huge wave of young energy, people just always going in and out, it was like an international University. We got hooked up with a great tour, saw the classics, the Churchil War rooms, and had some classics, most of which we had heard the name but didn't actually know what it was. Also we went to Buckingham Palace just randomly to see the Queen, Royal Family and hundreds of horses! The red guard did hours of ceremonies as well. The hat is actually made of bear fur if I heard right.
I really liked organizing just was we were going to do, eat or where we were going to stay, we really hadn't planned a thing! We stayed the night on the coast in the far south to take an early ferry to Normandy to see Pascale's (my host mom) sister and parents. We stayed in her sister Marie-Claire's beautiful house and saw le-Mont-St-Michel. That was an interesting sight, however the weather wasn't with is as always in Normandie. Martin was nice and drove my mom to Paris, then took my home to he south, a long ride! It wasn't too hard to say goodbye to my mom because I knew I'd see her soon, know it's only one month it's crazy! All in all I think the trip was just superb.
