Wednesday (9/11): My day: class, food, tour of Chambery, and a night out at Bar de la Boule with friends. The picture posted below is the group I went to Bar de la Boule with--some pretty awesome people. During the tour of the town I was expecting to be bored (maybe I was a bit) but on the whole, it was good. After awhile old buildings commence to look similar (please don't shoot me for saying that or stereotype me as an ignorant American--or do, I don't care too much).
Thursday (9/12): I cannot tell you what I did this day. This is sad. I have honestly sat in front of my computer screen for about six minutes racking my mind about what happened on this day yet to no avail. Ah well, just another day passed. Oh! I remember, I had a tour of old Lyon! Gorgeous--photos are below. Although old building do begin to look all alike, that's not saying I don't love them. Because I do. The European ability to not only appreciate history yet use old buildings in a modern way takes my breath away--America could really take a lesson here. On the way back to Chambery, I had a serious discussion about how long I and some friends would last in prison. Don't worry, although initially I was dead after the first day, I convinced people of my toughness and rose among the ranks to become one of the top people in prison. So, you can sleep easy tonight knowing I would survive prison. Once I got back to Chambery, as always, I was exhausted and just went straight to bed.
This is the oldest staircase in Chambery and also is a perfect spiral.
Just a random shot of the city town center and the sun peeking through.
Friday (9/13): My day:last day of class and Katherines&Sandras birthday celebration at (where else of course?!) Bar de la Boule. Let me go into more detail here about the last day of class. First off, I'll start by saying I enjoyed this day. And no, not only because it was the last day but because I had a conversation (maybe I should call it a passionate discussion...) about America's healthcare system with a person from Ireland. Maybe I'm growing up because (and I can't believe I'm about to admit this but...) I found talking about the healthcare system fascinating. Yes, I know, I just passed a milestone in my life (no more just talking about clothes, books, and tv shows).
Saturday (9/14): Relaxed. I ran errands and also visited several museums and the old castle in Chambery. What's better? The visits were free. Why were they free? Because Chambery does this thing where once a year, they open the attractions (like the castle, government building, museums, etc.) to the public. I've posted below pictures of Chambery and Lyon. And now? Well, it's 7:43 pm and I'm tired world. So, enjoy the below photos and I hope dear reader that you, yes you, are doing well!
I wanted viewers to see these two weirdos. Left: Malcom, right: Alex. What special kids! They're great!
looks like you are having way too much fun
