Nina J - Family Stay
June 27, 2006 – Tuesday
Dear Readers –
Today we woke up and left our families :( It was extremely difficult for some of us (Yes...I cried.).
It was all worthwhile. I think we all LOVED it. I’d have to say the most shocking thing was breakfast. Okay... who has hot chocolate every morning for breakfast? I was in love. Other than that the other shocking thing was giving kisses on the cheek to everyone you know or meet. Not at all a bad thing (especially if you’re meeting a cute boy :) ). I see a new trend for Minnesota once the Frenchies (us) get back. A different thing I noticed was they ALWAYS wore their shoes in the house. If I was at home I could hear my mom saying “Hey, why don’t you take off your shoes and stay awhile?” The most difficult thing for me was hot knowing whether my natural actions were insulting to them. Like, taking a long shower, or not eating all my food. It was really hard to decipher. All in all it was extremley fun. I felt as if I was paired with the perfect girl =:) I loved how her friends planned the days out so we wouldn’t be bored. It was spectacular and it truly showed us what French teenagers do. It was AMAZING. To all you parents – seriously – thank you. This is the best summer a lot of us could ask for. We all appreciate it.
Thanks and ciao!!
