Another Great Weekend (Sept 12 & 13)

Everything about this weekend was awesome! We were suppose to originally leave Friday after work/school but the weather was so bad we didn't end up going! Although we weren't going to miss the "Coxinelle Meeting" so we just planned to leave in the morning, probably early.

Sept 12

I got up early and had all my things ready but the weather was still bad, so we ended up leaving later in the afternoon. We arrived in Meze, Saturday evening, not our final destination but an awesome pit stop. We all enjoyed a panini while watching some live Water Jousting!

After we headed to where we were sleeping. Sète. Another beautiful city on the coast of Mediterranean!

In Sète, we out went to dinner to Le Grand Bleu, a seafood restaurant. If you know me well, you know I don`t really like seafood but this year I`m willing to accept it more! I ate for the first time, a large quantity of sea food and didn`t puke after!I ate cooked mussels, seashell, fish and some potates, this dish was ``Salade du Pecher``, for my main course I ate ``St.Jaques``, this is scallops prepared in butter and served in a scalloped shell but what I had was in a delicious creamy dish along witth some pasta!

Sète 

We said bye to Sete sunday morning to Cap D`age, where the Car Venue was. Looking at the map it felt like it would take us some time to get there but from Meze to Sete to C`adge were quick car rides. 

At the Car venue ``Meeting du Coxinelle``, I met my host dad`s brother and his friend. We all enjoyed this special event. I loved every minute of it. I found it incredible how many people showed up from even Denmark.., and how the quantity of old refurbished cars, that were taken care of so well

After we ate lunch at this awesome place at the beach and headed home! It was such a fantastic weekend, unquestionably one to remember! Special thank you to my host parents for making this trip happen and letting me be a part of it. 

Bonne Journée a tous!

Belcastel et des chevaux

Bonjouur!

Good but.. busy weekend! My host family and I went to visit one of the the prettiest villages in France, "Un plus beau village du France". Belcastel was truly amazing but what I loved the most was seeing those antique cars! Both my host dad, David and mom, Sandra are big fans of not only antique cars but in particularly the Beetle Volkswagen, which I also adore! The first time I drove a car was a Beetle, they're a lot of fun. Not only do my host parents like them so do my host grand-parents, which are also my second family! Sandra's father displayed his very own  "Deux Chevaux" this weekend, he has a 1957, completely refurbished!!! It was all really interesting and a joy to be a part of the same liking. I looking forward to this upcoming weekend, we are going to South of France, Montpellier and around that area. We are going to another venue/convention of Volkswagen cars such as Beetle's, Buggy's and the vans! I'm super excited not only about the cars but about going to see a little bit a South of France.

An antique house for visits 

Then on Sunday, there was a bit of a Rotary get together just between the other exchange student, Justin and my counselor, Thierry and his wife, Laurence. Thierry has a beautiful house up in Lunac which is about 25 minutes from Villefranche but another 20 minutes from where I live. It was "far" but totally worth the drive. It was a wonderful lunch to just talk about everything and all get to know each other better!
