So it has been more than a whole week that we have all been here and it feels like it has been a month! We all have gotten really close these past few days and all the activities and trips that we go on together make it all worth while and fun.
Last Saturday we went to the beach in Nice and rollerbladed and rode bicycles. A few had trouble with rollerblading but it was a great time at the beach.
The Sunday after that we went to Villefranche and went to the beach again. While we were there we went snorkeling, which ended up being much more difficult than everyone thought it would be, but we got to see an octopus which ended up being worth the intense swimming with difficult goggles and huge body swim suits. After that exhausting adventure we had dinner and returned to Nice realizing how important sunscreen is, especially after going to the beach 3 days in a row.
Monday was a normal day, breakfast and class in the morning, free time, cooking groups, and free time in Cours Saleya. It was nice to take a break from the beach that day.
Tuesday we went back to St Jean Cap for the beach, everyone was still pretty burnt from the past few days so we all laid back in the shade the whole time hiding from the sun. After the beach we had cooking groups and made lasagna.
Today we had class and electives, free time for an hour, the staff made us all dinner which was very good, and then we went off to Cagnes to see fireworks and see this local band have a concert on the beach there. The celebration was for tomorrow which is Bastille Day. It was a very fun and exciting night!
