Off to Vannes...

Today we leave for Vannes. It is closer to the ocean than we are, so it will be even MORE humid. Pictures of it look really pretty, though...

I had bread and homemade jam for breakfast. The bread is so much better here =). Oh! And we had bread and cheese for part of dinner last night. That was exciting.

So, I have my own room! I've never had my own room in my life! I also have my own bathroom, unless they have guests. I definitely could get used to that. No one else lives on my floor, so I have that of my own too. Nice, but strange at the same time.

Now on to packing for Vannes...I need to stuff a few more things into my bag. I do not understand how some people only brought one suitcase and one backpack for four months, I could bring more than that for one weekend!

Pictures and updates of Vannes to come...

The beginning...

Yes, I am finally in France! While plane rides aren't bad, I'm pretty much over airports. CGD is huge!

Nantes is beautiful, and many of the apartments look exactly as you would imagine them to be. Also, they weren't kidding about it always being cloudy...and it was raining as we were trying to walk around to a few places today =). Hopefully it will be nicer for our orientation days in Vannes.

Here are some views from the IES center, where most of my classes are---

 

 

The family I am staying with is super nice, they would hardly let me carry my bags anywhere, and i live practically on the roof! The apartment is at the top of the stairs, and inside there are more stairs that lead up to my room. There's a huge window so I can look up and see the gray sky.

Jet-lag effects are kicking in, so it is now time for me to crash. =)

All packed and ready to go!
