I haven't traveled in a while, so I haven't written anything in a while either. Just wanted to write a little
I went with John yesterday to find a park his family found when they were here in Nantes earlier this summer. It was a really sweet park. And it was in an area of Nantes I've never been in. It made me realize how little of Nantes I actually know. Even though I lived here for 4 months, I still don't know my way around most of Nantes. I know where the trams take you, but there's so much more to see in Nantes, away from the tram lines. The park was on the island on the river, all the way on one end. The island seemed to have a lot of commercial buildings and office space where a lot of people seemed to work. Then as your walking towards one end, all of a sudden there is a park. The park is really nice and large. It has large open spaces to throw frisbee, play soccer and whatever you want to do. It also has some cool playground stuff like a small zipline, so it's even fun for college kids to play on. Hopefully I can go back there next weekn in the 2 days I have before my last final and when I leave for home.
Also on Sunday I went with David (a french guy I hang out with on the weekends) and we went over to Cecil's (french girl) apartment. It was great because I was the only native English speaker there (even though everyone there spoke quite a bit of English). I really wish I could stay here longer because I'm just now starting to hang out with the French more. I'm excited to go home but it would be nice to become better friends with the people here. I'll miss them.
