End of Week Two

So, today is the end of week two (well, school wise). Things are going good so far. Still missing home like crazy, but that's normal. Last week we went to Le Rustique Wednesday thru Saturday and on Friday and Saturday night after Le Rustique we went to Le Joinville (another club here in St. Pierre). Le Joinville is more of a disco type bar, and you can dance there. Unfortunately, it's still legal to smoke in bars here, so I had a sore throat all last week. We didn't go to Le Rustique this week because we've had so much homework to do. We can't go tonight because we have to get up at 6 tomorrow morning to go to Langlade et Miquelon, the other two islands. The boat leaves at 8 tomorrow morning and we are gonna be gone for 11 hours! It's a Saturday...can't they give us a break? Oh well, I will be able to take lots of photos! Speaking of photos, I've taken 233 already and it's only the second week. I can only image how many I will have by the time I get ready to come home.

So far, we've toured an island called Isle aux Marins, visited a Museum, toured St. Pierre on foot and in bus, went shopping, went to the patisseries (bakeries) and went to the bars. I'm gonna bring back a few sweets for you guys to try. Me, my roommates and some of the other people from the program usually go to Bertrand's house in the evenings (he's the bus driver at my school "a.k.a the Francoforum"). Today, we played pétanque. It's like land bowling. It was fun but kinda boring. I have pictures of it to show when I get back.

One thing that I forgot to mention the last time I posted was that I have a sink in my room! I thought it was so weird at first, but it's actually quite good to have it there.

Wow, this is a long post. Anyway, I'm done for now. Thought I would get the post in while I can. Hope you guys are having fun (but not too much without me). I miss everything loads and see you in 2 1/2 months!

Vous me manquez! (I miss you!)
A plus tard! (Later!)

P.S. The picture is of me and my two roommates. Stacey, Erin, and me. I think that was before we were going to Le Rustique one night.
