I just had lunch and am getting ready to go to my afternoon classes. I've been packing a lunch every day, but I may try the university restaurant (le restaurant universitaire, which everyone calls "Resto U").
Speaking of food in France, I must say that I had the strangest dinner I've ever had the other night: 3 hot dogs (no bun) and lentils, followed by the usual salad course, then cheese course. ...a little different, but strangely good!
Today, I'm posting pictures of where I'm staying:
This is my street. You can see the cathedral ahead on the right (above the trees). It’s really very close, but it appears kind of far in this picture. I'll post more about the cathedral later. The street is mostly walls and/or garages to the houses. You enter with a key through the garage, then you're in the garden in front of the house, which would be what we'd consider the front yard.
This is the Bel’s house. It is a very nice house with 6 (!) bedrooms. They told me that the living room was built in 1830 but that the kitchen and other parts are "new." I learned that here, that means only 50 years old! As you can see, the garden is very green and lush.
This is where we eat when the weather is nice. I read and studied out here for several hours on Sunday. There is a music school just down the street, so you can almost always hear music playing when you're out here!
This is inside the house, looking out into the garden. The ceilings are very high! The doors and windows are open almost all of the time.
These pictures are of my room. I am really enjoying the big window.
Here are the *squeaky* stairs just outside my room -- I'm on the third floor!
The window at the very top is my room. Yes, that's me in the window!
This picture is looking out of my window, toward the cathedral. I love hearing the bells chime.
Hope you're having a great day!
