July 5th and 6th

July 5:

Well it turns out that we ended up staying out late for the fourth of July celebrating and had to take the late train home and walk a little extra to get to our dorms but it was well worth it because the night was fun. We had a fieldtrip for class today, but it was definately not worth it in any way shape or form. We drove on a charter bus 4 hours away to go to Paris's number 10 airport which was really tiny. We had a tour which took all of 5 minutes to go from one end to the other. They thought it would be exciting for us to see an airport, not like we all havent seen one before. Then we had to sit through a presentation on how the airport works and how the planes come in and go out and all of that nonsense. Needless to say we were pretty upset that we had to waste half a day just to see an airport.

We were supposed to visit Chantilly, which is the home of chantilly cream, a beautiful castle, and an equestrian park but the INT staff decided that we had seen enough castles, which was not true. They took us to the smallest town in France which was pretty much a ghost town because everything closed when we rolled in on our bus. It is supposed to be famous for having beautiful roses and flowers growing everywhere, but because of the cold weather there were no flowers that were alive. We ended up feeding these donkeys on the side of the rode to pass time. The bus ride back was another 4 torturous hours and we all went to sleep once we got home.

July 6:

Since we have been on the go the last few days we decided to have a chill day after a day in classes. We walked around the mall in Evry and just hung out all day. It was nice to sit back and relax for once.
