Mercure Gd Htl Grenoble 4m

... where footage was edited in silent with a Benny Hill style tune playing and at 1.5 times to create a comical scene. This is what transpired as Jez and Andrew took of to locate our Chalet. Our was actually in front of us the whole time but our two compitant liguists disappered and reappered in different spots and directions for 30 min adding to the comical start I put myself thru. Not the most appropiate way to commence a holiday but I wouldn't have done it any other way!!!

Today is the first day of my spring break...whoo hoo! I will be jetting off to Germany tomorrow morning to attend the 22nd Annual Satanic Stomp, a two day psychobilly festival in Speyer, Germany. I will be meeting up with two Salt Lake girls, Kristina and Mary. Where to after that? Who knows! I am ...

... Belgen passeren langs hier om te gaan skieen/snowboarden in de Alpen etc...Het was er dus zeer druk! Op de koop toe was het ook nog kermis in Grenoble waar zeer veel volk was..en dan nog de belangrijke match Grenoble-Lorient (ze stonden beiden op 35 punten en de winnaar was zo goed als zeker van het behoud want vanaf een paar ploegen achter hen, zakken ze af naar de tweede klasse..en die ploeg staat op 29 punten). Om Grenoble dus binnen te geraken, hebben we een half uur staan ...

Today, I have been on this planet 22 years. I cannot believe that this past year has flown by so fast. This is particularly strange after having Megan here last week. We met three weeks into freshman year, so we have been friends almost my whole college career. It was so bizarre to find ourselves discussing our upcoming graduation and our post-degree plans. In two months I will no longer be an undergraduate but the holder of Bachelor's of Arts....WTF.

... my uncle and aunt at their house (just like we did almost two weeks before with Kristen and my father). I always love seeing them. They are the uncle and aunt I am the closest to and I am just as close to their children, my cousins Marie and Etienne. Great dinner as always (it is so nice to be a member of a family where women are awesome cooks) followed by hot tea time (again!) with my aunt who is also my Godmother ...

... one of them, thank God! History and Literature were very easy for me (wouldn't it have been ironic if I did poorly on the history exam?), but translation and Art History were killer! Oh well, at least I know what to expect in May. My good friend Megan arrives from Seattle on Tuesday and is spending her spring break with me. I am very excited to spend time with her and show off my French! France is ...

... mixed into the dish; not on the side. But the food was hot and cheap so we did not complain too much. Well, maybe a little. At 2:00 the group reconvened and we went to the Museum of the Resistance and Deportation. They were having a traveling exhibit about prisoners of war during WWII and their permanent exhibit was about the resistance movement in France. The POW exhibit was ...

... by mistake (my **** navigating) passed by the european parliament as we narrowly missed driving into germany, on our way to grenoble! Drove thru the Jura mountains, shaved past but not into Geneva, on the N83, officially the best drive ive done ever, and arrived in Grenoble late that night, only to find our hotel was less than central...rather in a nearby town called Vorreppe. On the 30th, we checked out Grenoble, went up the longest cable car ...

... ville, gigas édifices, nickel propre, on glisse dans le décor. Peur. Il est 10 heures, le soleil dort, tout seul. Aucun départ vers la France. Merdemerdemerde, où dormir, les parcs ? Ah non il y en a pas. L'hôtel ? T'as vu les PRIX ??? Euh CouchSurfing ? Bha non pas internet non plus. Paniques. Oki oki oki, faut bouger, je peux aller où ? Vers la France... oki. Genova. Ah. Ouais. Et le mec de me vendre un billet pour GenÈVE, moi de pas m ...

... My room also has french doors that open up to a view of the garden. After a week and a half I've already seen quite a bit of progress in my french. Some of it I think may be due to getting back into it, as well as adjusting to the speed at which my french family speaks. When they speak amongst themselves I always understand the subject and some of the details, but not all of the details. This is good, as it means I can gradually pick up more and more over the next 2 ...
