As our time in France comes to a close and we reflect back on everything we've done, we see that we have had an amazing month. The highlight of the month has been the past 4 days. Three of the last 4 days were spent having an AMAZING weekend in the Normandy region of France. We toured all the tourist places (in a bus, so it was even more touristy), climbed in and out of bunkers, walked on the beach, and much more. Add perfect weather and sun to that, and you have an amazing weekend. It was capped off Sunday night by soccer in the old golf course and an amazing dinner. More about Normandy will be posted later probably, but there' s been this thought in my head I had to get out.
When people talk about France, Paris actually, I always here stories of how rude the people are. Eileen even pointed it out the other day. I disagree whole heartily. At our metro stop, it is basically a requirement that you hold the door for the person behind you. It is really nice and a small gesture to remember that people are friendly. At the hotel this weekend, we were in the lobby talking after we got back, and the owner told us we could stay up as late as we would like and even opened the breakfast room for us. You can stop and ask almost anyone where the metro is and they will walk you to the stop. The hospitality and friendliness here is amazing!
We have one 3 hour session of class left Tuesday morning before fitting in as much site seeing and stuffing our faces with food as possible. Dr. Hagan says we like food. Maybe a little too much. Well, Red Drhagan (pronounced, Dragon.), we do like food. and fun. Our time to Paris is winding down, and my mind is moving on to the next leg of my adventure. And I can't wait to have as much fun in Maine as I've had in Paris.
