These are some photos of last weekend when I stayed with the Prats (one of my Rotary counselors), played in the snow, went to a band concert.

Here are a few photos from my daily routine at school!
 
The Sunday before last, I took a quick trip to Geneva with Gabby and her host parents and visited a science museum. Here are a couple of photos!
 
So today I only had one hour of class, which was French. I usually have an hour of biology and another hour of geophysical on Wednesdays, but that's only 3 out of 4 weeks, and today was the day I didn't have them (so I slept in! :) ). In the afternoon, my host-dad drove me to Grenoble, an hour south, so that he could do some work with his friends that live there and I could visit my friend Thea from Canada, who lives in Grenoble for a year now. Today we went up to the top of a mountain with the lifts, did some shopping, and saw a lot of the city! Hope you enjoy all of the pics I posted today!
 
Here are a couple of photos from my school, Lycee Guillaume Fichet.
 
Last Sunday, all three of my host families got together with me, Cami from Bolivia, and Gabriella from Ecuador, to take a hike in the mountains. We went up Sur Cou and saw a beautiful view of the whole valley and had a picnic up top. About an hour up, 40 minutes down. It's cool here how you can see the snow descending the mountains as time goes by and winter progresses! Right now the snow is still on the upper quarter of the mountains.
 
Hello everyone!!
So it's unfortunately the end of vacation, and I have another 8 weeks of school starting tomorrow. I visited some of the chateaus of the Loire Valley and also the farms of Ardeche. Today I went to Yvoire, a beautiful tourist town that's crowded in the summer, and I also went to harvest some apples at 1 Euro/kg with my host-dad. Sorry this note is so short, but it's getting late, and I need to get up early tomorrow morning!

(PS: there are some more photos on Facebook!)
