Hello again.
So yesterday we got back from Villard de Lans (Grenoble). I had the best time there! We went skiing (Grenoble is completetly surrounded by mountains, and Villard de Lans is perched at the top) which was fantastic! It was about 15 degrees on the hill and the snow was perfect and at the end of the day we could take the ski route all the way back to the house.
Amarande's grandparents are the sweetest people and grow all of their vegetable and keep their own chickens and rabbits. Her grandmother definately didn't think I ate enough, but the food was so great that I couldn't refuse seconds even if I tried!
On the weekend we went into Grenoble and met up with Maggie and her exchange student Marta and went shopping and had a TON of fun! We also went to the museum of Grenoble and saw some beautiful art work.
Later on we met up with all the cousins and did a grant performance of different commercials to the parents which was pretty hilarious and at the end everyone insisted I play my violin for the family so I played the third Seitz, which went well.
On our last day in Villard de Lans, me, Amarande and Fabien drove to La Grotte de Choranche which was amazing! It's a huge cavern inside the mountain with stalagmites over 100 000 years old and stalactites over 3 meters long! Inside the cavern we saw a light show which was fantastic and then the Olm, which is an animal from the prehistoric era that live in the water and looks a bit like a snake with no eyes. The car ride back was fine; we listened to music, played games and stopped for lunch and leter for gouter at some nice little places.
School starts again on monday and tonight I'm cooking dinner for the family (shepherds pie and lemon pudding) which I hope they like and tomorrow we're going to the family day (which is once a month) at church. :)
