well it appears as if technology is once again my mortal enemy, alors je vais mettre les photos dans Facebook!

Ok everyone, I really do not have anything new except that my time in France has been the best thing that has happened to me in my life! I will upload pictures momentarily! Merci a tous!!!

update

Hey Guys, Things honestly could not be going better than they are, for the first time in a long time or even possibly forever, everything feels, just perfect. It was kind of hard at the beginning to adjust but now, I am thinking in French, My family is incredible, The other stagiaires are awesome, I have a great group of friends, the food is the best, the classes are fun and enjoyable. I have had almost no problems with anything. France is absolutely wonderful and perfect. A huge thank you to everyone who helped me get to France, it truly is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my life.

After Normandy and Point du Raz

Hey guys! Everything in France is wonderful, the food, the people, my host family, the profs! I have had zero problems here! Sorry that my posts have been sporatic but I really do not have a lot of free time and that is a good thing. However, I have some pictures from the Point du Raz, not Normandy because I forgot my camera, but as usual, If you have any questions, feel free to leave them on here! Merci a tous!

The first post in France!

Hey guys, I am safely in France and with my host family! It is fantastic! We landed in Paris on Thursday morning without any problems! Then we had a very very long bus ride, but I am in Brest and loving every second of it. I will not be able to type that much because I am not used to the keyboard at all, I am making tons of mistakes, but I have seen quite a few sites in Bretagne already, such as Presqu'ile de Saint-Laurent and Le point de Saint Mathieu, I have pictures and I will upload them as soon as I figure out how to. But for now, Thanks for keeping up to date with me, this trip is going to be amazing, It already has been! Feel free to leave comments or questions! Merci beaucoup!

Last minute stuff

Ok, well here we are. The night before I leave for France, this trip will change my life in lots of ways, and I'm thankful for every single person who has influenced me on this adventure! I would also like to thank everyone who donated money to make this trip possible, there is no way this could have ever happened without you! So thank you all so much! In terms of last minute things, just remember that this can only get updated once a week, and also, feel free to email me any questions, comments, or concerns, hopefully I can answer those if I have time. So thanks again for everything and please send good thoughts and prayers for me on my travels these next few days!
