While Alice provides useful information, I want to tell stories. Natasha-style. Which means 2-liners. If you're lucky.
I've been to France only once - a weekend in December to Paris while studying abroad in Bilbao, Spain. I went with my beautiful Chilean friend Uli, who will hopefully forgive me for posting some highlights of our trip here.
As you can see, we tried to cover as much of the essentials (while seemingly wearing
the same clothes everyday, hey!) - la tour eiffel, le louvre, sacre-cœur, versaille, l'arc
de triomphe - as well as the requisite crêpes, all in 3 days. Our first night there we scored big at a cute crêperie near our hostel, where despite our utter lack of French, we managed to have (hopefully) a very French meal.
And now I head to Brive. The assistant from last year has been kind enough to share with me some photos of my new home, some of which are below. The pictures can speak for themselves.
Last thought for today: I have been trying (not enough, unfortunately) to practice my French while maintaing a full-time summer job, catching up with friends and family, and applying for a Fulbright. Anyway, I turned to (of course) the library and got some French CDs. One band that I really liked was Les Nubians. One of my favorite songs is Bebela, which can best be described as creamy yet bubbly. I have no idea if they're popular in France. But I like them and they make my commute to and from work much more enjoyable.
