Traveling always has it's downsides...especially when you're going international. However, I encountered very few problems on my way to Nice. Besides ridiculous airline baggage fees for some extra weight, getting to France seemed like a piece of the delicious tiramisu from our first dinner tonight. As soon as we arrived, everything seemed to flow so easily. The French truly do work to live and not the other way around. Eager Americans might dislike the nonchalantness of the French mentality, but I think I can live with this for the next four weeks! Our day consisted of preliminary introductions to the amazing Abbey Road Staff and quick get-to-know-you games with individual groups. Afterwards, my group took a walk through central locations in the city. While seeing small alleyways with flavorful businesses, owners, and products my group also got a glimpse of the spectacular coastline and icy-blue waters. We returned just a few moments before leaving for our first dinner, although the cuisine seemed primarily Italian, I could sense the French influences from the heaviness of cheeses and richness of the dessert. Everyone seems extremely tired, but excited to begin this adventure. Bonsoir!
