Last week was just a week of classes. We've been having intense French language tests that are worth 10% of our grade, with the last one being Tuesday. Altogether there are somewhere around 550 French words we've "learned". Friday we went to a park called Puy du Fou. It's essentially a park with outdoor dramas about the history of that area in France. So we saw viking raids and a gladiator match too. Pretty cool, but a little long since we stayed there all day. Saturday a few of us took the train to the beach. It was a real nice day, but the water was too cold for me to swim. I stayed in for about 30 minutes but others stayed in for a few hours. Today was my first day at church since earlier was an all youth thing instead of a regular service. The pastor is an American missionary so he summarizes everything in English every now and then, which is nice. This afternoon we played basketball with a few French guys from the church. Some of them speak decent enough English, so we can get by. Hopefully we can speak more and more French and less English. I don't have many pictures, but here's one from Puy du Fou.
