Today was fun

I awoke at 6am, an hour earlier than everyone else lol. So, we were just a little late to getting to school. The school is amazing though! It is more than 300 years old, and it looks really awesome, with the old architecture with the new school design. All the Americans were given a quick tour around the school by some young students that are learning English. After our tour, we went into the Gym, where we were all given welcome bags, that contained a bunch of little gifts such as laser pointers, pencils & pens, a deck of playing cards, and a bookbag with the name of the City on it! Then the French students went to class, while we were given a boat tour on the river around the city! It was very interesting to see a bunch of unique locations in the city while on a boat. After that we had lunch and then we left the school again for an onfoot tour! We visited a giant monastary in the middle of the city, it is almost 900 years old and it is more than 140 meters tall! (Which is about 420 feet). We went inside and saw all the unique architecure and a very precise astronomical clock. I took a lot of pictures, so I am sorry that I forgot my cameras' cord!! We also saw a lot more of the city, including a bakery and an old Protestant church. There was a lot of walking, but it was really windy, so it wasn't too bad! After that, Guillaume and I took the tram and bus home, were we went through all the contents of the welcome bag, and played some trimonoes (3 sided dominoes). We just finished supper, and Guillaume needs to do his homework, so au revoir for now!!
