Actually, I did see a pair the day after I said that I hadn't seen any. Oops! I was a day late for the music festival, but Rebecca was there! I haven't watched much TV since I've been here, nonetheless music videos, but I'm sure these people were fantastic! You would almost die in a stampede, but it's also very characteristic of you to live to tell about it! We went to the discoteque last night, which was fun, but I didn't get a lot of sleep. But that's okay!
Sarouelles Yes, so these special pants are called "sarouelles" and the goal seems to look the most like princess Jasmine. You can buy some sarouelles or you can achieve the look (with a more "fashion" twist) by tying the drawstrings on the bottom of capris and flipping them over so they "poof." Did you enjoy Paris? Were you down for La Fete de la Musique? It was totalement fou! We got to go to a free concert where we saw (and I'm assuming by now you have watched enough music videos that you know who these people are) Amel Bent, Chrisophe Willem, Christophe Mae (solo and with a Roi Soleil montage with the entire cast), Fatal Bazooka, Shy'm, Diam's, Vitaa, Kamini, Moby, Avril, and more. It was crazy and we almost died in a stampede but it was totally worth it!! Stay out of trouble and enjoy your last few weeks!
I'm going to Paris tomorrow!!! And Rebecca's there right now! Maybe we'll run into each other, haha. Mrs. Lambert, I've learned all sorts of French. I've even got some updated verlan and slang for you! We didn't go to the beachy area of Le Mont St Michel. I haven't seen this genie pants yet! Are they all the rage in Paris? Maybe I'll have to buy a pair to be cool. Maybe I'll wear them when all of the Frenchies and Americans go to the disco next week. Then we'll definitely be kiffantes!
You called that HEAT!! Hey, Helen. I'm down in Paris right now and you are not kidding. I think the entire city was melting yesterday. All I could do was sit and stare and hope my little corps didn't bake. I'm glad to hear you're seeing some interesting things while you're here and I hope you're speaking francais!!
Did you find the quicksand at Mt. St. Michel? I think that it may be more interesting than the church.
On an unrelated note, how about these pantacourt-genie pants everybody is wearing here? I hope you've bought a pair to bring home. I've got mine and I totally plan on being ahead of the trend.
Smallville!!! ok, so what's smallville like in french??? we watched finding nemo in french right before finals, and it was absolutely hilarious..... miss you!!! oh, and miss stanford, i am going to morehead for math ed, but we can talk about that more when you get home.
I'll be living with a French family for a month this summer!
It's a family of five. There are three boys-- Flavien, 13; Quentin, 15 (the one who applied); Romain, 20-- and the parents.
The city in which we live is St. Gatien des Bois-- It's got a little over a thousand people.... full info
