Football/museums

Hey all,
Well we went to the France Vs. Columbia football match the other night, so much fun. Tickets only cost us 10 and we got some t-shirts to fit in for 15, all in all very worth the money. France one and that made the night all the merrier. To get to the game we had to take the metro, which we knew would be crowded because of the game so we boarded early and got on our way. We have to switch trains to get to the stadium and on our second train I learned what a really busy day on the subway was like I was smooshed against the wall of the car with people on every other side of me. I couldn’t even scratch my nose but Kali and I just laughed the entire way about it. The game was great, the beers were expensive and before we knew it the event was over and it was time to go home. After the game we stopped on our way home to have some desert at our place Le Cardinal. It’s always nice to gloat about doing something cool in France to French people that didn’t have the chance. Lol.
Since the last time I have written we have visited Victor Hugo’s mansion, gone to a museum named Carnavalet, had another French class, and today we visited the Louvre. Most of the places mentioned above are really to be seen and not read about. For example the Louvre is impossible to see all of it in one day so there really is no way that I can express in words how amazing the museum is. Carnavalet is famous for its French revolution paintings that are really horrific and sad to view.
I must confess to my friends and family, I am getting to the peak of homesickness. I hope from now on it will start to subside but this trip is a lot of adventuring and doing new things almost everyday gets to be very tiresome. I miss home for so many reasons though. The French, once you get passed the fantasy touristic view (witch is what I just lost I am assuming), are not as great as I thought that they would be. I thought the French people were all stylish and ate great food all the time; they most defiantly do not and are not! The food at our home stay is all microwave pre packaged meals. Last night we ate frozen salmon that was individually packaged and the rest was boiled frozen vegetables. Now this food wouldn’t be as unbearable if we had not been told before our arrival that the hostess of the house was a professor at the Cordon Bleu. Ok, well that was me complaining and in the future I am sure that my opinion will change and I will readjust to my new environment, and when I do I will be moving off to Spain for a new readjustment!
Well I hope everyone has enjoyed getting a card from Kali or me, you most likely won’t be getting two since they are so expensive to send. Love you all and see you soon.
