Hi ev'rybody!!!!!!!!!! WOW, I finally made it, and you wouldn't believe what I had to go through to get here! Where to start! hmmmmmmmmm. First of all, my flight from Miami to Philadelphia was delayed due to stormy weather. What a bumpy ride! Then, as soon as I got to Philadelphia, I had to follow the people who spoke funny to the next terminal, which was already on the next side of the world, I think I got corns on top of corns after that journey. As soon as I got there, they were boarding people, and I was half dead by that time! So, me and my little roly carry on bag, and my back pack and mr. lion went onto the plane only to find more chaos. Then, on the plane were a whole lotta French students and they wouldn't keep still for nothing! I thought I was never gonna fall asleep, but I was able to sneak an hour of rest. Oh, I forgot to mention that I met this guy from the rotary, a young man by the name of Jason Levin, he saw me in my blazer and introduced himself, lucky for me, he lives in Paris and he was an exchange student like three years back. So, right before we arrived in France, Jason came back to my coach seat from his first class one, and said that if I needed any help he would wait for me when I got off of the plane, and I gladly accepted. When I got off the jet, he was right there waiting, thank God! 'cause I would've been so lost! He spoke to the customs officer for me, and he helped me with my luggage, which was sooooo heavy, then, he waited with me for my ride, which never came because of a mixup with the time. He made alot of calls on his cell phone to find out where everyone was and we even made up a little sign with my counsellor's name on it, if he couldn't recognize me. Then, we finally got through to someone and they said that they would pick me up from a train station. So, Jason and myself got onto a bus and went to the station where we waited for about 45 minutes for my host brother to arrive. After he came, we took Jason to his apartment. Then, Erwann (my host brother) took me around Paris, and yes, I did see the "Tour Eiffel" (Eiffel Tower). He took me for pizza and icecream and I took a nap at his girlfriend's apartment. Then, we went on our way to the train station where we only had ten minutes to get the ticket and onto the train. He loaded my luggage onto the train and I was on my way to Rennes (alone). When I arrived in Rennes, I used the little French I knew to get someone get someone to take my luggage off of the train, the funny thing was that the guy spoke no English and no Spanish, so, all I could do was point and show him my rotary blazer and say je ne compran (I don't understand) and just say mon baggage (my baggage) and point at the two extremely heavy bags, but I guess my helpless looks got him to help me. He took them all the way up the escalator and into a waiting room, where I waited nervously, hoping my host family would recognize me, and about in five minutes, they did. We did the kissy thing that the French do, and were off to the car. We stopped at this restauant where they specialize in crèpes, I had the pineapple one, it was great, and we drank some apple cider (the alcoholic kind, hehehe). Then, we went home. What can I say, it was like WHOA! It's on a farm with three cats, two horses, and a cute little goat named ganja. My room is da bomb, with my own bathroom and everything, honestly, I don't think I'll be coming back to Freeport! The house is like one of those fairy tale, storybook chateaus, picturesque scenery on the outside and carryin' on bad (yo'll know I gatta still use ma slang) on the inside. Anyway, I think I bored yo'll enough with this long e-mail. So, catch ya later! Au revoir, cheerio and all that good stuff. PEACE OUT!
