Welcome to the fourth addition of my blog all the way from Bretagne France! Time is going too fast! It honestly does feel like just yesterday that we began our French course in Paris! Everything is going well for all five of us and I think it is about time I put you all up to date with what has been happening throughout our lives in France.
I have spent the afternoon making Lamingtons with my Host siblings. The lamingtons turned out excellent even if we do say so ourselves. I just returned from 4 nights in the United Kingdom with my friend from Australia, it was excellent! I saw many amazing things including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, The London Tower and a number of Theatre productions and bookstores. It was great being able to get my hands on some English books!
Andrew took a trip with his host sister to North West France and enjoyed the main attractions of Bretagne! Bretagne is differs quite a lot from the rest of France, they have their own culture and specialties. The specialties include salt (they love their salt) and butter (they use so much more butter it is crazy!) . In Bretagne there is literally a Creperie in every town, no matter how small the town is! Bretagne even has their own language. Andrew's trip was fantastic, he really got to bond with his host sister and she took him to everything that there is to see! He said that it was great to travel with someone who knows the area because that way it is impossible to miss anything.
Both Anna and Andrew have been attending school in a small town outside of Le Mans, they are helping out in English classes and attending some other classes. They have made some French friends which is great!
I was sad to say goodbye to Rebecca today who is leaving the town of Vannes that we have both spent the past 2 months. Rebecca has moved into an apartment with a young university student who she will tutor. She has taken to the busy city very well!
Well that’s all from me, I will be sure to keep you updated :)
