Jessie and I enjoyed each other's company. We're getting along marvelously because our hearts are very much the same. Meaning although we don't live the same (she's way more active and stylish), we both love God and people, work hard at what we're passionate for, and enjoy the time we have to relax in silence or talk about our lives. Basically, I'm really glad that she's here with me.
After a long week of classes, which I promise I will explain to you eventually, Jessie and I went to Cabourg yesterday to do a bit of shopping and then to watch a movie. Reading is always a good way to learn vocabulary, and reading out loud is also great practice for pronouncing French words. So, naturally, I was drawn to the book stores. There were a lot of Disney books, it was hard to choose. I also bought some souvenirs and would've gotten some boots, except they didn't have my size. It was sad.

So, in case you ever want to watch Yves Saint Laurent, don't. We knew that the fashion-designer world is a rather horrible, but we had hoped they wouldn't show it. We left early and read Le Roi Lion instead.

Cabourg The Casino in Cabourg. First one I've ever been in. I suppose it was nice, if you like that kind of thing, but I'd rather not spend any time in one. Dives-Sur-Mer A church that William the Conqueror went, and were many of his fellow travelers are recognized. This, then, is what they call William the Conqueror's village. I liked it a lot. We toured Caen today, which is where Jessie and I will be attending school. There are a lot of shops and restaurants, etc. We also took the tram and bus like we'll have to once school starts. It's pretty easy, but I'm glad Elvira showed us how to do it. We also got to walk around on one of William the Conqueror's castles. Il était un bon jour, mais maintentant je suis trés fatigué.
Pour déjeuner (lunch) we stopped to look at the castle of Robert le Diable, more commonly known as Robert the Magnificant, Duke of Normandy from 1027-1035, and the father of William the Conquer. We were not allowed to enter the ruins, but I enjoyed imagining the castle in it's glory days with a draw bridge, archers, and cavalry. |
AuthorSalut! Je suis etudiante de francais. Well, I'm doing my best to learn French at any rate:) Je suis Son (I am His) is the documentation of my semester in Normandy with the Chez Vous Institute and the Universite de Caen. Categories
