So I'm a little behind...

So I am a little bit behind in my posting.

The last time I posted it was to tell about Aix and now I am going to tell about Lyon before I forget! I went to Lyon with Kaitrin, Kikki and Robert and although we only stayed one night it was a really good time. We left Friday after Robert and I got out of class and got to Lyon in time to see theis concert of a band that Nikki, Kaitrin and I had seen here in Grenoble called Mango Gadzi, they are a Greoble band and do this really awsome and compeatly indescribable music that I'm sure I will have everyone listening to when I get home. There was also the present surprise of having a very good warm-up band at the show called NoMad that would probably have to be classified as the same kind of music as Mango Gadzi but is totally different at the same time. The next morning we went to the Basillica of Lyon that sits on the top of a hill overlooking the city with amazing views, we also went to the Musee Beaux Arts which I thought very impressive for a museum so small, and I have been hard to please after my 2 week long art class in Paris with Dr.Weihe.

My birthday was good and I have to thank everyone for all of the presents and good wishes! Althogh as I am in a place where the drinking age is 18 I cant say that being 21 is much different than being 20. But I'll see about that when I get home. And for all of you who are curious I will let you know that my mom did indeed end me a Birthday Cake in France, contiuning her tradition since I have been away from home and that it was very tasty and didnt look mushc worse getting here than getting to Seattle!

This last weekend I just rested in Grenoble and didnt do much other than my homework and reading. Although I was thinking of going to Marsaille next weekend and I will certenly have something to say about that!

School keeps on going and I think that I am doing well, although it is hard to tell because we have no work handed in or anything to judge by until we get our final exams! Im excited that I am comming home soon, but still sad at the thought of leaving France.
