Hier

(Yesterday) for those non-french speakers. (I hope you are learning from our blogs!)

So... after a slack (but fun) Monday, i again didn't go to any classes on Tuesday. (but it wasn't my fault as Mireille had 'controles' (tests) in nearly all of them. So in the morning I wandered around lonely as wasn't able to find anyone. After a while I bumped into Kase and Cyz - hung around with them for a while and Cyz found some boots. I went home for lunch (Mushroom omelette).

After lunch Claire (my host Mum) took me on a bike ride. I thought it was going to be reasonably short, to the library and then along the river Lez... but we just kept riding. We rode to and then through a beach town place called Lattes which is on the lake (and then there is just a tiny strip of land between the lake and the Mediterranian Sea - kind of cool) until we got to this Nature/bird reserve place. Once there, we did a circuit that was like 6 km, then rode all the way home, stopping only once for a pain au chocolat (i was starving!). We had to ride on the road (scary!!!!!!!!! as they are narrow and I wasn't wearing a helmet (no one does) and the bike was kind of annoying) My bike was borrowed from the carpark people and it was old-fashioned and bright yellow with a basket on the back so every time i treid to swing my leg over i fell. Great! And it only had 3 gears, so i almost died going up the 3 hills we came across (thank goodness Montpellier is not hilly or I wouldn't have made it!) Anyway, turns out we rode for about 20 kilometres (3.5 hours°); I suppose you are all going to say exercise is good for me, hopefully this means I can get out of school sport on Friday. today we might be going iceskating!! fun!!
