Ahh yes. The first full day of Biarritz. It was absolutely fantastic. Everyone is super-serious about only speaking French. My roommate, who goes to Williams College, and I, even in our room, only speak French to one another. Its certainly exhausting but I think I learned more French today than I would have in a week of college classes.
Biarritz reminds me of the Aix-en-Provence region where I spent a lot of time as an Au Pair. My host family is very nice. It's a husband and wife and they have two little daughters, but we haven't seen the daughters and I think we're sleeping in their room so we think they are at the grandparent's house or something like that. Not sure about that detail. haha
The real kicker today was the whole getting lost in a foreign country thing. Yeah. My roomate and I were trying to get back to our house and we thought that it was going to be super easy because we had these huge maps of Biarritz, but alas, our road was not on the map. AWESOME. So after asking every french person on the street as well as these sketch guys at a local pizza place, we finally found it. 2 hours of being lost. Good times.
Tomorrow is just for relaxation so we plan of logging a bunch of time at the beach.
A la prochaine!
