Le Visit

Le Visit is another word for a tour, that we did yesterday (Friday) afternoon with a teacher from la lycee. Before that however, I went to French, and then didn't go to sport... We are meant to - but they were doing running - can you think of anything worse. Instead Monique convinced me (its all her fault - bad influence) to go walking/shopping/eating with her so she wouldn't be a loner. I had a chocolat chaud et un tarte aux pommes, then we headed into the Polygon for Monique to shop becuase the weather was tres icky - (cold, drizzly and so windy it was best not to bother with an umbrella) Monique bought a bag i think and i bought some gloves, they are blue and not too thick so you can do stuff with them on. Now i need to find a hat of some description - my tete is always cold.

Anyway, then we ate lunch at the canteen again - wasn't anywhere near as traumatising as last time as we were early. The food was also slightly better, some fried rice and some eggplant thing. Oh and just in case you need to know, they dont count fish as meat, so make sure you say 'Pas de viande, et pas de poisson'. Anyway, then was our tour of Montpellier. We met our tour guide, an ex_teacher, who was very funny! We visited a museum on the history of Montpellier, the cathedral, the water tower etc etc. It was very interesting and fun to hang out with all the aussies (except issy and mia - in toulouse).

Last night after dinner, my host dad, Laurent, took me and my older host sister to a concert; It was at the local theatre/concert hall type placee - Le Corum - and was the Nationql Montpellier Orchestre with a opera singer. It was very good and i enjoyed it heaps, but i sturggled to keep my eyes open. Then we walked home through the Place de La Comedie - very busy as this weekend is the telethon. Its a fundraising event in Paris and Montpellier and its huge! Anyway, more later, now I am meeting Emma and Mia in the city for a stroll...
