Adventures in Nantes!

Today was fun in a sense because I actually went out and did something after class, aside from shop at Carrefour.

After our conversation class, we took a group trip to the musee des Beaux Arts. While I'm all for museums, I prefer for them to have a consistent theme. This one did not. There was an odd mixture of modern art, biblical art, landscapes, and still life. Granted, they were seperated by section, but it was still odd.

After we went through the museum, Mandi offered to show me and Jeana a nearby park. We walked around in the park for a little bit, then decided to take the tramway up the loire river to Ile-de-Versailles, which is a beautiful park on the Loire river. We walked around there for a bit, then headed back to our respective host families.

When I returned to my host's apartment, I found her entertaining some friends. She offered me a glass of sparkling cider, so I sat and talked with them for a bit.

Me, Jeana, and Mandi have planned a picnic lunch at Ile-de-Versailles for tommorow. I'm also going to a soccer game after class with some of the people in my group. At some point I'm going to have to find a place where I can get my watch fixed, because the battery died in the middle of history class today.
