Remember Marine, my exchange students from Sophomore year? Well, I made a visit to Tours, near where she works now, and she is getting married in August! I was 15 the last time I saw her! There was a lot of catching up to do. After high school she spent a year in South Africa, a whole year, which sounds so impressive given the time I've spent away from home this time. She studied biology at university, and is now doing a master's in animal behavior. She's in Tours, or a small town nearby called Crotelles, because she has an internship with an agricultural research institute.
It was great spending the weekend in the countryside. She lives by these huge expanses of wheat and colza fields. The air is unimaginably fresh, and going on walks with her, I learned a lot about insects and farm ecosystems, all in French. We also visited some castles, no big deal.
