Last week of Break

Okay just a really quick update since I have to go to school again tomarrow after our two week break. This past week I spent with another AFS host family who were all really nice. They took me to Trier(Treve) Germany the first day so we could explore the history, and I got to see the old cathederals and buildings there which was awsome. I also thought it was wierd and I don't know if I've said it before, but immediatly when you drive through the boarder you are pretty much over whelmed with german(which personally I don't understand at all). But it was really cool, and luckily for me and my family they speak english really well, so I got a little break from french.=) Then the next day we went to Metz(prounounced mess) which is the capital of the Lorraine region of France. we just took a little tour of the city and talked about the history and when we got to the cathedral it was HUGE! And the french seemed really proud that one of the Popes came to visit it at one point. But it was a  beautiful builing that was constructed from the start of the 14th century and up to the early 19th century. What also suprised me about it was that they clean it all year round because by the time they clean the whole thing they have to start over again. Then we went to Thionville and out to a movie called the Plan Parfait (Perfect Plan) that featured a well known french comedian Dany Boon, and for my fellow classmates, yes the same person we saw in one of our french films last year. And I am proud to say that I understood most of it=). Then finally we spent the last day in Luxembourg in the city of Luxembourg. It was great. I don't have much to say about the city itself, but we saw the Grand Dukes palace and went shopping in three or four different districts/neighborhoods. All in all a good week and I start bright and early tomarrow with two hours of running outside in the cold for P.E. because apparently it's normal to run in winter here and not when it's nice outside. Oh well=)
