This is for Today and Yesterday

I couldn't make a blog yesterday, since I did not return home until 7:30, and Guillaume had a lot of homework to do. Yesterday, we visited a musuem about the long conflicts between Germany and France & how they are now working together, and then we went to Strutof, the only concentration camp in France. The first place was interesting, but there were no pictures allowed in the building, so I took a lot of the beautiful mountains. There is nothing much to say, honestly, about the musuem, except that it was..."intense". After our tour, we hopped back on our bus and headed up the moutains to Strutof. I originally wasn't planning on taking many pictures, but once you enter the barbed gate and go inside the buildings, you can't help but to take some. Strutof was camp where they did the most experiments on prisoners. Going into the building with a operation table, execution room, "guinea pig" room, and a big furnace all in it is very solemn. One girl almost started to cry, but thankfully she didn't. Back at the lobby, before you enter the camp, you can go underneath and see where there are tunnels, probably more than 100 meters long. In there tunnels, prisoners were forced to mine for granite. The whole place had a very sad vibe around it, but I am still glad I went. Not glad, as in happy, but glad as in all the information I have learned.

Earlier today, we spent our first 2 hours in an English class lol. The French students there had to interview us, asking us about our hometowns, family, etc. It was pretty funny, as durning the second hour, or second period, there were two guys interviewing me at the same time, and they kept asking about "beautiful American girls". After our class, we went outside to go play our activites we had signed up for yesterday, either Table Tennis, volleyball, or rock climbing. I signed up for PingPong, but the teacher was not here today, so I played volleyball. It was very fun, as Guillaume, another French Student named Gregoire, his host Jessica, and I; we kicked some butt. We tied for 3rd out of 11 teams!! After pwning some noobs in volleyball, we went to go eat durning lunch period. About 20 people, French and American, all went to a really good pizzalike restraunt, and it was very good!! Then, we had to wait for them to finish a really tough oral exam. After that, we went home at 3, where Guillaume has been singing, dancing, and playing his guitar & piano like a mad man! It is pretty scary, lol.
