Post 13: Sorry again... Travel Day!

Hey Everyone!
I'm sorry that I haven't been keeping you all up to date. I have a required journal to write in for the trip so that we can remember some of the historical things that we learned on our outings. And I also would like to share some stories with you all when I get home and give out little presents! :)
So I will just list some places that we went to this past week.
Sunday: We went to Cannes for some sun and expensive lunch.
Monday: We took a tour of some really old Roman baths that are actually on the same street that I am staying on! It was quite hot when we were navigating our route through the rocks and ruins but then we followed with maybe our 4th church... After that we went to the MATISEE MUSEUM! Which is what I was looking forward to that day!
Tuesday: Our teachers snuck (real word?) us on to their pool roof! Where we lounged and swam in the cold water. We could see half of Nice from that pool!
Wendesday: Mr Newman, Allison, Michelle, Morgan, Jordan, Mackenzie and I all took a train to Antibes for the afternoon! Antibes is the most relaxing place I think I've been to in France! The town was amazing, the view of the ocean was amazing and the Pablo Picasso Museum was amazing too! When we got home we tried to figure out a plan to go see Eclipse- "L'hesitation" but Mme said that she didn't want us to be out that late in a different part of town. I told you, we are her puppies/babies!
Thursday: We went to Monaco on maybe the hottest day of year! We hiked up maybe 300 stairs (haha) and then we ended up at the "Palais" we did some wandering and then went to the Oceanographie museum which was a bit of a bust.. not much going on in there. And everyone was tired soo we decided to leave the group early. We power walked down the stairs and got to the train station to find that the next train to Nice was either in 6 minutes or in an hour. So guess what, we sprinted the whole way there, which was probably a bit of an ugly sight :) "sveaty ameriecannes" and we ended up in a tight cabin standing up and we made everyone else in the cabin drip with sweat. It was a very fun experience. We got home to eat our last supper with madame (because she is leaving/left at 7:30 Friday morning for Colorado!!) And then she told us to go find her daughter in the market. So we went to the market after Fenocchios (where i tried lavender ice cream) and her daughter could pass as her TWIN! haha I bought a gift for Olivia from her stand and we took a picture with her. Then i said goodbye to all of my friends and took pictures. And when Allison and I got home we helped Madame pack and weigh her bag and give her the list of "interdit" and a list of american stores that have adapteurs. Then we took a photo with Madame!

And today I am anxiously waiting to get in the Taxi with Mr Matanes to get to the airport where I will start my voyage home. I should leave Nice for Paris at 1:10 and then if i make my next flight i should leave paris for ATL at 4:15!! (But i will have a helper person who will be incharge of me-to make me feel like i sort of know whats happening! haha) AND if everything is on time i should land in atlanta at 8:05 (thats what my ticket says) and be home at 9:30-ish? But I love you all and I hope to see some of you when I get back!!! Wish me a Bon Voyage!

<3 Claire
