Thursday 6/4
We started off the day going to a car museum, where there
were a ton of awesome old cars, bikes, and motorcycles. We were able to
see both Hitler's Mercedes and the Popemobile. We then ate lunch in a
field outside of the museum. Following lunch we had some downtime and we
were able to pass around a rugby ball for an hour or so. We then took a
bus to the Saône river, where we got to try l'aviron (rowing). We had a
short row consisting of a couple of laps up-and-down our area of the
river. After the row we all jumped into the river and had short
cannonball/ bellyflop competitions. -Andrew

Another half day today with our exchange students! This morning we
visited a middle school and were able to speak English and answer
questions from the students there. Questions ranged from "What do you
like about France" to "What's your favorite
team on FIFA" to "Can you come again tomorrow". At recess, we were the
celebrities on campus. As soon as one of the students came up to you, a
couple more would join, then a few more, then many more until you were
surrounded! After saying goodbye and returning
to Lycée Saint-Marc, we left with our host families for lunch. Some of
us walked all around the town to find something to eat while others went
just around the corner for lunch. The afternoon kept us occupied with,
among other things, swimming, using peddleboats
on the lake in Le Parc de la Tête d'Or (Park of the Golden Head), and
shopping. If only every school day ended at noon.. -Jack

Tuesday 6/2
In the afternoon I went to the elementary school down the road with Austin, Troy, and Andrew. It was surprisingly fun spending time with the younger kids, despite none of us fully understanding them. Jack and Griffin went in the morning, so they didn't go to the Basilica, but they said their experience at the school was as fun as ours. I was in class with Austin, where we listened to them recite poetry and rehearse a dance. In our classroom, the kids were about 9 or 10, but they recited French poetry from memory well individually and said two stories in English as a class. -Dylan
