so after a very long plane ride, actualy several planerides I am here in france. I woke up at 330pst and drove down to reno to get on the plane. I met up with elena and danielle there. I also saw chealsea on her way to new york. Because we have friends who work for the airline we got to ride first class for the first part of the journey. We flew into st paul, a very beautiful city, and hung out in the airport for about an hour. We then boarded the plane for detroit and took about 30 min to taxi. On the plane I sat with some guys from birmingham who were on there way back from las vegas, a real bummer because they kept talking and wouldent let me sleep. At detroit we met up with a bunch of other exchange students. It was fun talking to the other people who were going. Some very interesting people are now in france. My plane to paris was delayed by 2 hours because the cargo hold smoke detector was broken. I then took a very long flight to paris. On arival in paris I went through customs wich was a snap. My host family then picked me up and went home. Every thing here is so green and lush, quite a change from the landscape of truckee. The town I live in is very picture-esque, its exactly what you think of when you picture a french town. Well I got to go to market now.
Keep on Trucking
