Recap of the Week :)

So my first week is almost over...here are some of the things I did:

-I went to the coast yesterday, which was about a 40-minute drive. It was beautiful, but the water was VERY COLD! I went swimming anyway ;) We stayed there for a couple hours and had a picnic
-I discovered that riding a bike in the city may not be the best thing for me to do ;P My host mom took me to the post office (about 5 minutes away on a bike), and I was scared to death! I ran into the back of a bus...and this was the laugh of my host family for the past three days ;P But seriously, the brakes did not work at all :/ I think I'll just walk next time....
-I went to a Catholic mass at the cathedral in Rennes...I didn't understand anything at all, but it was really cool to be in such an old church
-I went to the biggest market in France (I think, if I understood correctly)-- in Rennes-- on Saturday morning. It was amazing! There was so much food....we bought mussels there for lunch (which I have never tried before) and I loved them :D
-I was invited to one of my host sister's friends' home yesterday to have crepes for a snack...yum ;)

Tonight I am switching host families because the other ones were on vacation....It's gonna be a little hard, because it has taken a while to adjust to this one, but oh well :P
