Grenoble
My first full day here! I got up around 7:30, Gilbert had said that we would be having breakfast around 8 am so I wanted to be up and ready by then. It turns out that breakfast is not as formal as I though. We had our bowl (yes, bowl) of coffee with sliced baguette (every meal has baguette) and jam. It was yummy.
I left with Janine to walk to the bus. She showed me the tram and told me which stop to take. I headed off to orientation, arriving early. We had our orientation until about 12pm that day. Afterward, the group headed off to a nearby park for a picnic lunch. We ate sandwichs, fruit, and cookies in the grass.
The main activity for the afternoon was a trip up the mountainside in the bubbles. Grenoble is completely surrounded by mountains, which is beautiful but unfortunately makes the city very hot. We got to take some photos and enjoy the already scorching weather when we reached the top.
To cap off the day, we got ice cream as a cohort. A few of us left together and bought some much needed supplies at the Monoprix down the street. I returned home to finish my homework for the next day.
For dinner I had a salad of tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and vinegar. Our main course was ham and fried potatoes, and our dessert was a small cup of peaches.
I sat for a few hours and watched the news with Gilbert and Janine before heading to my room for the night.
