Notes from Nantes: La Rochelle with Mom and Dad
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012/04/la-rochelle-with-mom-and-dad.html
Tuesday, April 17, 2012. La Rochelle with Mom and Dad. Well, as I write this, I am back in Nantes! My parents dropped me off at the train station today and were on their way back to Paris; they will fly back to Canada tomorrow. It was sad to see them go, as we had a really great trip together. I wish they could have stayed longer so that they could see more of France! But I think the trip has convinced them to come back and see what they missed! Now I have about a week and a half before coming home!

Notes from Nantes: Second Last Weekend!
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012/04/second-last-weekend.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. So I left my parents on Tuesday, and literally thought I would be bored out of my mind for a few days until my friends returned. Luckily I have been keeping decently busy, running, visiting with friends, getting some administrative stuff done. and the days are just flying by! Plus, it was so great to be in the country in some fresh air! Old house in the village. Watching the storm roll in. Oh, and saying goodbye to some of my friends who are leaving on Wednesday! Day 2 in Lille.

Notes from Nantes: November 2011
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 29, 2011. Ok, ok, so I know that it is not actually. Pancake Tuesday, but today is Tuesday. And I ate pancakes. But more on that in a sec. So I was really inspired by the kindness that this little girl showed to a stranger. Maybe that’s what Jesus meant when he said that we should be like children. They were so delicious and we were very. Monday, November 28, 2011. Teaching. on my own! Today at my volunteer teaching placement, I got the opportunity to teach all by myself! It was pretty ...

Notes from Nantes: Trains
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012/04/trains.html
Thursday, April 19, 2012. Probably long over-due, I thought I would write a little post about the trains here in France. Just because they are so awesome! Sometimes I meet really friendly people on the train, and sometimes I don't talk to anyone. The French trains are often really quiet, which allows you to read/write/sleep in peace. It is quite a great way to travel. Would cut down on pollution too! Whew Anyways, sorry if that was scattered. In short, if you come to France, take the train! Day 2 in Lille.

Notes from Nantes: Crazy French Kiddies
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012/04/crazy-french-kiddies.html
Monday, April 23, 2012. This afternoon, after a lovely sleep-in that involved lots of resetting my alarm, I went over to my host mom`s school to spend some time in her class to see how a French elementary school works. I had a lot of fun and the kids were super cute! They wanted a pin, they wanted to know what different pins meant, where I got them from, how they stayed on, etc. They are quite the inquisitive bunch! In other news, in one week I will be on a plane home to Canada! View my complete profile.

Notes from Nantes: Whirlwind!!!!
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012/04/whirlwind.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. Yikes Suddenly, it is Friday! How did that happen? Yet again, I thought that my last week was going to drag on. But nope, it has flown by. I will try to recount what has happened! On Tuesday, I had another great sleep-in (so unlike me. it needs to stop happening) and then I accompanied my friend to LeClerc to chop off all her hair! In the afternoon, I walked around with Siobhain and her visiting sister, and we saw the typical Nantes sights. cathedral, castle, the usual. I might ta...

Notes from Nantes: May 2012
http://notesfromnantes.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. I am officially sitting down to write my last post on this blog. It will hopefully be short and sweet. I made it to my host family's house on Sunday night and had a nice last evening with them. We had apple beignets as part of dinner which were delicious! I was also given a few gifts: 2 bottles of wine for my collection and a couple of Belgian beers for my Dad. The next day I had to say goodbye to them, which was sad. At least I know that I will (hopefully! This year, I will be spe...

Sunday, April 29, 2012. Au revoir et bonjour! Goodbye France, hello Canada! Well, here it is. My last full day in this beautiful country.
