The New Year

hey all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year even if i am a little late, I hope everyone had really great holidays. Mine were pretty good it is always a little odd not to be with my family for Christmas, but the little Christmas fairy (Mom) was here right before and we had a good time checking out Nantes and we also traveled to St Malo, a walled city on the north side of Brittany (I live to the south) which was nice but very very cold, there they have the second highest tides in the world (the highest it the Bay of Fundy in good old Canada by the way) and we ate some delicious (and other not so delicious) sea food. Here we are under the bridge by my house.

Mom left on the 20th and I hung out a home for Christmas, i went to Midnight Mass (it was at 8:00) and was with my host family to eat Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day dinner. Last weekend i had a lovely time visiting my old host family (from when I was here in high school) which was much too short of a time. New Years Corrin and I babysat 8 kids that belonged to relatives of my host family maybe "babysitting" is a loose term because the parents were there and we had supper with them (the party was supper), so i would more call it crowd control. And that brings me to now where I am just chilling until things start up again on Monday (yes that was three weeks of vacation summerized). talk to you again soon
