Everything is still unreal here but I am trying my best to soak it all in. So far everyone I have met has been super friendly and have been very encouraging as I butcher their language. But as the nice waiter at the restaurant said last night "you will never speak it unless you try", so of course I will keep trying!
Yesterday we went to a large shopping center to get the essentials like school supplies and looked at some other fun shops as well. Angers is a really clean city except for the construction. They are currently building a tramway through the city center so lots of roads are dug up.
I have eaten so many bread products the past couple of days but they have all been amazing! luckily I have been walking everywhere so hopefully it doesnt hang around my middle too much. And if it does, oh well, cause im in France!
Aunt Kathy wanted to hear about the fashion and it is pretty similar to the US but everyone looks really put together, even the grade school kids. a lot of scarves, boots, dresses, skinny jeans and pea coats. One major trend that I did not expect was cowboy boots! Lots of the girls have cowboy boots. Very interesting.
Tomorrow morning we are going to check out the Saturday market and spend another day walking around. I am glad I brought sturdy shoes!
