France, here I come!

This week I received my acceptance package from France in the mail! I found out that I'm going to Morteau, a little town in the Jura, a mountain range just north of the Alps. Apparently it has a little under 7000 people and a whole bunch of hiking and cross-country skiing trails nearby. The school is called Lycee E Faure, and it's a technical high school where kids go to learn clock-making, jewel-cutting, factory tech, jewelry-making and more, which sounds pretty cool. I've sent an e-mail to the head teacher of English that I'll be working with, asking her about the town and the school. I'm excited to hear back!

EUROTRIP IS GO

This summer my friend Erika and I are going to backpack through Europe for 3 weeks, from July 18th to August 5th. We're going to Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rothenburg, Nuremburg and Bayreuth. Yesterday we booked two hostels, and this afternoon I bought my backpack. Needless to say I am ridiculously excited.
