My
time in France has been great so far. I live in a small village about
45 minutes from Paris, which is very convenient for visiting Paris on
the weekends. My relationship with my host family is great. I've been
learning French more quickly due to the fact that they don't speak a
word of English. School has been very fun here, everyone is friendly
and usually interested in me because I'm American. The rotary dinners
have been great as well. My French is coming along well and I'm
understanding more everyday. However, some classes are a little
difficult because of how quickly the teachers speak, which is why I'm
writing this report from my Spanish class. I'm on a soccer team here
which has been a great experience so far. We won our first game 3-0, and
I actually had two of the goals. That definitely made me more popular
with my teammates. To give a brief summary of the interesting things
I've done since I've been here, I went to the top of the Eiffel tower,
Notre Dame, a demolition derby, an island in western France for
vacation, Disneyland, a soccer game in Paris, an Earth, Wind and Fire
concert, and most recently, the beaches of Normandy and mont
saint-michel with my rotary club.
