Final Days

Les Danses Latines

On Tuesday night the group stayed in Nice for some latin dance lessons near Place Massena.

Parasailing

Yesterday our group went parasailing in Nice just across from the hotel Negresco. It was a bit chilly out but we still enjoyed the chance to see the Cote D'Azur from a bird's eye view.

Saint Tropez

Today the SLDV and Nice groups traveled first to Cannes were to took a boat to Saint Tropez. We spent the day shopping and relaxing on the beach hoping to spot of few celebrities.

Saint Paul de Vence

Today we went up into the surrounding mountains to visit the small walled village of Saint Paul de Vence. There we visited the Maight art museum and toured the village.

Au Vieux Four

On Saturday night we joined forces with the Nice group and spent the afternoon in the small Italian village of San Remo. Afterwards we went to dinner together at Au Vieux Four for homemade pizzas and lasagna.

Hippodrome

On Friday night we went to see some horse races at the Hippodrome in Cagnes sur Mer.

Aquasplash

French Classes

Today we finished out our week with a visitor from the mayor's office. She talked to us at length about holding political office in SLDV and they issues they are currently facing as well as the many cultural differences that exist between Europe and the United States.

Family life

We are already halfway through the program! Hard to believe. We've spent a lot of time with our host families and learned a lot about French family life. Not to mention how much conversational French we've learned during our evenings together at the dinner table.
