Yireh Reports from France

March 24, 2006

Whoa its been some crazy fast 3 months ! So i got back from Xmas vacation, i changed families on feb, two weeks later for the February vacations we left for Pouliguen. Its a beach town on the ouest of France. From there, we visited a medieval town called Guerande, where i saw one of the most beautiful cathedrals, really called a collegiale. They also took me to Croisic which is a port , and i got some cool facts from the world wars and germany ( see pics). My host mom’s middle daughter lives in Nantes, a continuosly growing city, so i got the chance to see it a bit too. As for me its been good ! I am in school, just working now on my grammar skills…. :S grrrr ! ! ! ! i can speak french, but writing it isn't my fave hobbie. Im working hard and hopefully i’ll master it in the next 3 months. The weekend after Feb vacations, we visited the oldest daughter of the family in Amiens ! now this is a must see city ! ! ! ! ! ok ? The architecture is incredible, and the history is rich. I got to see the art museum, the cultural center, we saw a few nearby towns and their churches. Now Amiens has the Notre Dame d’amiens, the biggest gothic building in France, and bigger than the Notre Dame the Paris. That cathedral was breath taking. It is there that is found the famous post card of the sad angel. Like i said a must see. This town was actually destroyed during the war but remodeled afterwards, like many, and the dude that participated on it made a humongous modern building in the middle of town. Very interesting ;°p

After that everything else is normal. Tomorrow we have a RYE meeting and i think we are sailing ! again, i think, because they couldn't rerally explain me what it is. Im excited !  Next weekend after that is the district conference at Lannion. Time is flying ! ! ! i change families in 2weeks, then it she bus trip, then its one more month and back !

Its crazy ! ! im gonna miss this place. I really like school, the food rocks, and its just gonna be weird…. A bit worried, but hey ! all i know is im bringing back some cheese with me :D LOL ROFL cheese rocks ! !

I’ll write back soon ! !

Take care y’all
