What's this? Eddie's doing more awesome things? Yes, he is.
A while back, I've been in France with my host family! We drove the whole way.
So on Thursday, my host sister came back from Ecuador after having host club difficulties. The next day, we all got in the VW and drove to France. On our drives, we stopped and picked up some bread, meat-cake thing that I don't like, and some pickles for our lunches. That evening, we dined in Orleans after a little exploring. The next day, we drove to Mount Saint Michel and walked around in the cool castle. I did one of those audiotours so I could find it interesting. That night we stayed in a hotel with:
-noisy sink that gurgled all night
-central bathrooms that look like those in airplanes
-rock beds
-sheets that don't bend
-wifi
-26euros per 2people
The next day we traveled to Sainte Mere Eglise, where the airborne trooper hung from the church in "The Longest Day" and went into the Airborne Museum right next to it. Very interesting. Then, off to Utah Beach and Omaha Beach. It was chilling (and not the "cool" meaning of that). The American cemetery was next. Now, I've seen pictures of this before but it's just not the same to see 9,387 white crosses in perfect green grass and feel the rain pour down.
We ended the trip with a night in Paris with enough time to see the Eiffel Tower and another church. It's such a beautiful city and I'm sure I'll be back soon.
My French sucks, by the way.
