Taking Flight

Surprisingly the flight to France was not bad, and the 8 hour layover nothing more than an oppertunity to relax and get a good read in. The biggest shocker of the day was the plane food - some of the best I have ever had (and yes grandma I ate the whole roll). The rest of the day and trip across the pond was delightfully uneventful. After we arrived we ate lunch at a cafe overlooking the arc de triomphe. After taking typical touristy photos and staring upwards for an indeterminable amount of time, we decided to continue our journey to Angers. The tree hour drive passed quickly enough and we made it post - nighfall. The city at first glance looks charming and will be explored in further detail tomorrow (by the light of day). After arriving in Angers we met our host families and returned to their homes. My host parents and sister are very nice ... especially considering that they have to put up with my rusty french. My room is cool with a skyligh that opens over my bed and looks out into the city. I share the 3rd floor, a mini kitchen, and a bathroom with the chinese student that I believe is arriving tomorrow. The previous pictures are from the plane ride, and Paris. Enjoy!
