Update!

Alright, still trying to catch up on days. So after the party Saturday night, we were all super tired so everyone slept most of the day. I woke up around 6 and went and had Algerian tea with the owners of Epson, (restaurant with the best punch and bruschetta ever, we went there the first night) Jean and Anne(?). Apparently this is usual on sundays. After that we had a relaxed dinner and basically went to sleep. Ouiam is taking special classes to be able to pass her driver's test (it is alot harder in France) so on Monday she had to go to class, so i spent the afternoon with Latitia (my british/french/canadian friend) and some other people.


We shopped a bit, but spent most of the afternoon playing fooseball(?) and discussing "How I Met Your Mother"! After we went home for dinner. I love dinner with Ouiam's family, they are so lively, its really hard for me to not smile when they get angry and start speaking arabic. We make lots of jokes, especially "les enfants" as everyone calls them. So now I suppose today is Tuesday, fuck this is confusing. Ouiam had to do another driver's class so I met Valentine in Dieppe and we walked along the beach to the big public pool (outside and heated!) that is on the beach.


It was kind of cold so we went to the Cafe des Tribunaux, in the center of Dieppe. Its the place where the market is held and the "rendevous" point for everyone.


Valentine said she had come there for breakfast with her family almost every Saturday morning since she was a baby. Once Ouiam was finished, we caught the train to Rouen (the big city near Dieppe). We went to Coccino, where I had the most amazing "Pomme et Chevre Salad" for lunch.


After we shopped on the many pedestrian streets that Rouen has. Rouen is amazing, very strange though, all of the shops are in buildings from the middle ages. It is where Joan of Arc was burned and is home to the Rouen Cathedral that Monet is famous for painting.


After walking around there for awhile we came back to a cafe where we spent the rest of our afternoon people watching. We met Valentine's father at 7 and he drove us home. French highways are crazy, the speed limit is usually 130km/hour but Valentine's dad drove about 160 most of the way. I had to try really hard to keep from breaking into a huge smile. So yeah, that is basically it so far, right now i'm just waiting for dinner and listening to one of the children play piano. I love just sitting in my bed and listening to everything happening downstairs, from piano, guitar, saxophone to french, arabic or spanish, I love being here.
