Today started with French class at 9 am until 12 pm followed by our usual two hour lunch break. Today, my class revisited the future tense and future simple tense with a focus on topics surrounding the environment. The group headed out for about an hour to explore the many ways in which our small portion of Nice utilizes the growing trend of green energy. Within a few blocks, there is already a few completely natural grocery stores and almost every food market will carry "bio" products. There is also a wide variety of transportation methods around Nice that support a low carbon footprint- for example, the tram or the many bike paths around the city. After class and lunch the entire group went over to St. Jean Ferrat for our third time cooking in a hotel kitchen together. Everyone usually pitches in making the appetizer, main course, and dessert. Our chef, Pearla, instructed us on making salmon with tomatoes, lemon, rice, and several provencal spices. The dessert was a delicious tiramisu and there was also home made lemonade. For night activities, there was a choice between "light painting", a form of photography instructed by the photo elective leader, Maxim, or beach volley ball. I didn't think that I had much to contribute to the volley ball game, but cheered everyone on anyway :)
We are finally home now and have a very busy day tomorrow. À demain!
