Hey everyone Back home :)
ok where do i begin? ....
On the 16th of May Ellie's host grandfather died so Ellie has moved into my house for 3 weeks. i had stayed with the grandfather in Le Mans earlier in the month so Ellie and i attended the funeral on Thursday the 19th. RIP Pierre Benoist. Ellie and i are now living together and its cool like a sleepover every night haha. But she returns to her host family this Wednesday :(
Last week was just an average week at school. we had our usual chocolate feasts and hot chocolate sessions at cute cafes, did some more exploring. On Tuesday my school had a fundraiser run for poor kids in Madagascar, some Rotarians sponsored me 40 euros a km so i walked 6.5 km and raised 260 euros. i was happy with how much a raised because a little in places of poverty can go a long way!!
On Friday evening (the 20th) Ellie and i went and visited the Prytane. the prytane is the best military school/ University In France. It Is very famous and is covered in lovely old buildings and huge beautiful gardens. Our friends that go to the university there gave us a tour. After that Ellie and i went and brought kebabs from Shian. ( the kabab guy) he normally gives us free kababs and food but i don't think he's loves us anymore because we aid for pretty much like the first time ever!! we brought them and eat them on the ier on Le Loire river and watched the sun set.
On Saturday the 22nd my host parents took Ellie and i to their apartment at the beach in Sables-D'Olonne. it wasn't very hot weather so we didn't get any sun bathing in, but that didn't stop us from having a really good time. we brought ice creams and explored the town and walked along the beach front. That night Ellie and i got dropped in town and enjoyed a fun night in the nightlife of France. my host parents were arguing most of the weekend which made it uncomfortable, but i still had a really good weekend.
the weekend that has just been we had a rotary weekend in Au Pouliguen it was a really nice weekend. We spent Saturday on the beach and had a picnic there for lunch in the afternoon we went to a town called Guerande and went around and had delicious ice cream. on Friday night i tried creme brulet for the first time and now i have fallen in love with it...... dangerous. On Saturday night we had a really fun night together and then on Sunday we met all the future exchange students that leave for their countries in August. i met three students that are heading for NZ and one girl that is going to Auckland, all and all was another great weekend:)
I'll keep you all updated on everything, Love Always Es xox
