Good times, and difficult times

So, the adventure has continued with many high points but with each high some lows as well.

Lets start off with the bad so I can still end the post on a happy note :)
So, at the beginning of the week I decided that I would try and switch host families because I find that living in Canohes is rather isolating especially on weekends from the stuff I like to do - explore and discover Perpignan. However, it has turned into a big hoopla and I still have no decision to report or permission granted so hopefully I can give you my permanent address come Monday next week so anyone who wishes can send me letters. And please feel free because hearing from home is better than gelato!!!! - even chocolate!!! :O

Also, I have found out that the school here is not exactly user friendly to us students and I am having many frustrations trying to get access to their wireless network so I can use the internet with more ease and not have to deal with the dumb French keyboard. But, before I can enjoy such a luxury it seems I have to jump through hoops and run a mile sprint...

Now, the good:

Natalia, Katelyn and I all spent Wednesday and Thursday in Canet and another spot exploring because Katelyn's host mom let us stay at her beach house along the Mediterranian. It was so beautiful. We visited a church and there was this big military base so we saw all of these army dudes having to do exercises in the freezing cold water. I know it was cold because I put my feet in to see and because there was a cool picture opportunity. Except we were standing on some slippery rock and the waves were crashing and all I could hear was this French guy yell to the other people of his boat: Those girls are crazy!!! I don't know why because it was perfectly safe once you passed the slippery part along the edge. But it was also weird because the entire place of Canet is empty except for some retirees because it closes down entirely in the 'winter' months because it is a spring and summer months. So we looked weird when we passed things and making remarks in English because it isn't tourist season. The other weird thing was that across from the beach house we were staying at, was this pink house...ALL PINK!! It was like the Barbie Dreamhouse come to life!! It was funny. Oh and the other weird thing, was the beach house's toilet had no seat on it! :O Apparently this is common and we are weird for not knowing this. (P.S. Megs, I took a pic of it and will post it as soon as I work out all the problems with the wireless access as promised)

That is all for now...
