Thursday the 2nd - today Thursday the 16th

Hey Everyone!

On Thursday the 2nd of July Ellie and i caught the train to St Nazaire. St Nazaire is where our other exchange student friend Karen lives, she is from Mexico. St Nazaire is in Bretayne so it's the beach. We went to visit her because she is leaving to go back to Mexico next week. In St Nazaire we spent lots of time on the beach sunbathing. We had a really good time we went to a few different beaches and saw her town. we had a really good time :)

last week on Friday (the 10th) was our last day of school year and now i'm on a 3 month Summer break!!! yuss. That Friday i met Lycias sister who had come to visit Lycia from the united states which was nice. Sadly on Friday we had to say goodbye to Lycia, she is going to Paris for 2 weeks with her sister and then Home to the united states. it was really really sad saying goodbye to her, we had become quite close over the passt few months. I Really do hope i get to see her again. It was also the last day everof school with Humberto and Ellie, Humberto goes back to mexico in 3 weeks and Ellie is moving to Le Mans. Le Mans is a town about 45minutes drive from La Fleche so she is going to a new school in the next school year.

on Sunday the 12th i went to a park called 'PuyDuFou' its built in the mid evil times and had lots of different spectacles. i saw sward fights, horses dancing, old fashioned dancing and singing and lots more. my two favorite spectacles were of the three musketeers and the vickings. The three musketeers was in a huge inside theatre, there were horses dancing, people dancing, people comming down from the ceiling, amazing lighting and effects there was even water fountains and water spraying from the ceiling in an inside theatre. I was really blown away. The Vickings Spectacle had lions, leopards, Tigers, cows, dogs, horses and even Hyaenas it was really cool and my host sister and i got selected to dress in togas and be apart of it by sitting in these grand seats beside the ring and yell things, it was really funny. i had a really good day

From Sunday til Yesterday (the 15th) i went to Les Sable D'Olonne again  with my host sister and her friends. we went Sunbathing and i got a little too burnt. By the end of this summer i am going to be BLACK!! we went shopping and swimming in the ocean and went walking through the town and found this little road where all the houses are covered in shell art, their were some amazing peices.

So bring on the rest of Summer, It has been a great start!
Can't wait to see my family when they visit in 159 days and my Aunty in 65
Lots Of Love , Esther xo
