Feburary Vacations: Whole lotta running to do...

So, it's vacation time again in France. One thing I really like about French schools is how many vacations we get, which is fair because we do have classes for longer school days. Anyways, I have several plans for this vacation which is happening in four stages. Stage 1 was going on a bus trip to Venice with a few of my classmates with a group from school. Stage 2 is currently happening, where I am taking a few days of to work on homework and just get some needed rest. Stage 3 begins this Friday where I will be heading for Toulouse where I have some Rotary foreign exchange friends that I'll meet with and just hang out in the city. On Sunday begins Stage 4 where I will go on a Rotary bust trip from Paris to Barcelona. So, yeah, the next week and a couple of days will be jammed pack with excitement. I'd like to just thank my Rotary Club here in France, Sète for paying for the trip to Venise and letting me enjoy my stay a lot more. Also a shout out to my club back in the States for giving me this oppurtunity. Below are some pictures from my trip to Venice that I hope you enjoy.

Still here!

So this is going to be a quick picture post. I'll be moving a lot soon, during the Feburary vacations I will be going to Venice on a school bus trip, then I'll go see some foreign exchange student friends in Toulouse and finish up the holiday with a bus trip from Paris to Barcelona!
Here are some pictures from the past few months!

London Town! I've got a bunch of pictures from this trip but this is certainly one of the best!

Every tourist does this.
