Today we didn't have a traditional class because the school building (and a lot of businesses) were closed for a national holiday for the end of WW2. so, instead we walked around the city a good bit and we took a boat ride on the Rhone River (right by Avignon). We (the six students) also bought train tickets to go to Marseille for the weekend. It's a city by the Mediteranean (sp?). Hopefully we'll have a good time.
Dinner went well last night, although a bit awkward for me. It was me, my host mother Natalie, her boyfriend, and the neighbor guy Joe or Jean or John (I dont know?). JoeJeanJohn made some yummy Asian meal of some sort and we had some amazingly yummy french chardonnay. They liked to talk about politics a lot.. which apparently has a ton of French vocabulary that goes over my head. Oh well, I just sit and take it all in; I've stopped caring about understanding. They spoke to me (in English) about Obama, Hilary and Mccain. they were definitely not Mccain fans.
au revoir. i love you all
