Salut!
I made it!!! The first couple of days were very strange, but this city is beautiful and I feel like I'm living in a postcard. The best part are the crepe shops literally every 20 feet, which we stopped at for lunch today. My host mom is absolutely wonderful...she's a good cook too. Since she doesn't speak English, it's French all the time, so that's been a little hard but fun too.
Speaking of interesting...the showers. Trying to take a shower the other day was probably one of the strangest experiences. Since there are no walls or shower curtains, I soaked the floor with the hand-held hose thing, or whatever you want to call it. So that will take some time to master.
Yesterday my housemate and I decided to take the bus back home since we live at the top of a really steep hill. We probably looked like such dumbasses since we had no idea how to use the ticket machine on the bus, and the whole time, everyone on the bus was silently staring at us as we were trying not to fall onto anyone's lap when the bus went around the corners. But it's a little difficult trying not to look like an American sometimes.
This weekend we're off to Nice and Cannes, complete with discotheques and lots of wine. Should be interesting and awesome! The other night we ventured out to an "American" bar called O'Shannons (who would've thought there would be an Irish pub in the middle of a medieval French city?) It was pretty chill except for the football-crazed fans cheering whenever Algeria or Ivory Coast scored...who knows.
