Hello lovelies! France day 3 and 4 are clumped into one short video for you all to enjoy. We didn't have as many things packed into the days so there wasn't as much footage.
Day 3 started early again. We woke around 6:30 and had to be ready to get on the bus by 8. At 8 the bus left Paris for our journey to Loches where we would be staying with host families for the remainder of our trip. On our way to Loches we stopped at two places. First we stopped at Versaille and visited the insides of the palace. It was amazing and grand. Then we got back on the bus for another 45 minutes and went to Chartre to see the church there which is one of the oldest churches ever. It's been standing since medival times. We also had lunch there and got to explore the town. We found an adorable open air market selling all types of old antiques so we got to test our French skills there. Then we got back on the bus and dorve for 3 hours to Loches. It was 8 pm by the time we got there and Elizabeth and my host mom came to pick us up. We went back to their house and had dinner and went straight to bed. We were nervous about the stay after dinner because we didn't understand nearly as well as we did in Paris. The accents is much thicker and stronger in Loches so it was a struggle that first night.
Day 4 was the families celebration of Easter so for lunch we went to the mom's mom's house where the family was gathering and celebrated with them. Thank goodness our teacher happened to be staying at that house or else that day would've been just as rough as the previous night. Let me tell you, it is hard, very hard, to keep up with a family conversation in another language. After lunch everyone walked to a festival that was happening in the town square area. It happened to be USA old west themed, what a coincidence. We only stayed there for a short time before walking back to the house where the little kids all played some more and at 7 we finally left to go back to our house.
Thanks for reading and watching
XOXO
Gretchen
