We have arrived in Rouen! We got into Paris around 8:30 yesterday morning and were greeted by our program director Roy Caldwell. He met us with a bus and we immediately drove up to Rouen. It was about an hour drive. We were all looking pretty tired and disheveled by the time we got to Paris so I think our first impressions were a little scary.
Probably the best part about Rouen so far? The 70 degree difference in weather :) I wore flats and a spring coat today. It was just perfect. After freezing in Quebec, Rouen's winter is looking amazing.
I am staying with Madame Lasserre who lives in Mont Saint Aignan. It is very close to the school where my classes are. This means plenty of money saved on buses! The only thing is that I am pretty far away from downtown. It is about a 50 minute walk. I hope to get a bike so that I can ride it around instead of the bus. It is an apartment building so there are plenty of wifi (which my host mom calls "wee-fee") choices so I will be able to keep in touch with everyone.
