in Rouen!

i love it here!!!
the bread is so amazing!!
Rouen is beautiful. i will try and put some pictures up once i can get my laptop connected to the internet here. the computer i am using now has a french keyboard, letters are in different places, and it is impossible to type quickly haha.

i have adjusted to the time difference. thank goodness :p i stqrt school on mecredi (wednesday). it will be different......hahaha. my school is HUGE! i will keep you posted on how that goes. im sure that i will get lost many times in the first few days.

my french has improved in just the few days i have been here, cant wait until i can have a full conversation.

but i should go now,
i will write more soon!

IN FRANCE

i am here!!!! i am in france!!!

i am writting this at about 3am local time. i am sitting awake in bed because my sleep patterns are mixed up.

my plane from london was about 40min late. but the view of france was amazing from the air!!! (i had a windowseat). we flew over Rouen, whish was really cool. The landscape here is beautiful. and the is a TON of trees. its so amazing. i cant really believe that i am here.

my french is totally horrible. everyone talks super fast and with a very different accent than i am used to hearing. its very difficult.

london

here are some posts that i couldn't put up at the right time, because of a lack of internet. sos just ignore the dates.

I am in London! I am so so tired. so this will just be short. The flight here was looooong. But I have now taken official steps in Europe for the first time ever. I already love it.

Im gonna go rest now. I am so tired.

flight

here are some posts that i couldn't put up at the right time, because of a lack of internet. sos just ignore the dates.

i am on the airplane!!! the flight is almost over now. we are over Ireland right now. the plane is huuuge!!!! but the food is pretty good. i didnt sleep at all on the flight. it was so weird, because we left Vancouver at 8:35pm, but we skipped out on night totally because we were headed east.
it was so cool at one point because there was the northern lights out the window. i had never seen them before. the sunrise was somewhere over Labrador. the colours were beautiful!!

------ 6 DAYS!!! -------

The countdown is on! this time next week I will be in Rouen! :)

I have now gotten my ticket! I leave Vancouver at 8:35pm on the 25, and I fly to London Heathrow, there I wait for 3 hours, and then fly to Paris, arriving at 6:35pm. I have been in contact with 2 other kids that I will be flying with. It will make the flight a lot more fun :)

I will write again as it gets closer!
