Bonjour tout le monde! We have been very busy since our arrival! Yesterday we went to classes with our hosts. My correspondent, Blanche, has focused her study for the Literature Bac that she will take next year as a senior, which means she takes mostly humanity based classes (like English, French, Art, and a Speech-Ethics combo class). Classes here are 2 hours long apiece and school is from 8am until 6 pm most days. However, today we got to be more tourist-y. We visited the Bayeux Tapestry, a 1000 year old "comic book strip," that explains the story of William the Conqueror. Next we visited the DDay beaches at Arromanche. The museum there helped explain more of the logistics involved in DDay and Project Overlord. Finally, we went to the cemetery that was erected in France in honor of the fallen American soldiers in WWII. It was surreal and quite sad, but the beaches and the monuments there are beautiful! It was also fun to be able to say that we were back on American soil, at least for an hour or so. As you may imagine, we are all quite tired but so excited at the same time! Well, I am off to eat dinner with the Gautier's! À bientôt!
