Day 12!!!

Hey everyone! Today was AMAZING!!!! we went and saw how handmade pottery is made and then got to buy some if we wanted! and then we went to a SPA!!!!!! The most relaxing place i have ever benn. You sit in one of the like 10 hot pools and hottubs. There were jets and fountans =] and your skin gets soaked and cleansed with minerals and vitamins and salt. and there was an aroma therepy room. It was HUGE. you went in and splashed your face with cold water and sat down. It was foggy and stuff, but it felt sooo good. what it does is opens your pores and cleans them out and makes your skin soft!!!! RELAXATION!!!!!! There was a tanning room with heatlamps and 2 tanning beds. I didnt use those though. The 2nd flooor was the nude floor. I wasnt allowed there, and did not go there. The only thing bad about this place was that they charged 2.20 Euros for a coke, and all the old men wore speedos. not pretty. =[ hahah. Then we went to the school and the dance party. SOOO fun. It was kinda a workout though. Jumpin around and dancin. It was all fun until the bass in the speakers blew. = [ They fixed it in like 25 min. though. =] Last day withh ALL the french kids. sad =[ Byee, Loove ya, Maddie

2nd Day in France!!!

Yes mom, the begining is the same as the e-mail i sent you, there is more at the end, so just keep reading....Today has been really fun. We got up and had cresaunts (idk if thats how u spell it, probably not, haha) for breakfast. all i can say is that it was absolutly delicious. Then we went to the childrens museum. Hanna and I had a blast. WAAAAY more stuff for kids are age than in Wilmington. There was a room/hallway that was completely dark, we had to wear hardhats for when you accidentaly walk into a wall. the objective was to see what it was like to be blind. They had this thing u crawl through and there are ant farms in glass all around u. And another thing projected on a screen of rocks falling down and u stood on a mat and ur shadow was also on the screen and u could catch what fell in your shadow's hands. And a course of all different type of ground (sidewalk, carpet, tile, wood, gravel, stone, bumpy, sand, ect.) and u had to sit in a wheelchair and we what it was like and how hard it was to roll yourself around on some of the ground, there was also a stroller you had to push over it and you could walk with braces on tour arms that connected to your wrist and were like canes. Camille could not come because she had homework, so her mom took us. Then we all met up for lunch at a steakhouse =] I had a burger with bacon and it came with barbeque sauce =] they even had french fries. haha. It was delicious. Then Camille, Hanna, and I took the tram to the ice skating rink and met up with almost all of the group. The event was not a planned activity by the teachers, but all the French kids decided it would be fun. =] there were 2 rinks, one had a DJ in the middle and a disco ball, the other was a hockey rink, they connected. Then we came home and hung out. Ate dinner- Soup with veggies, and sausage, and a dessert like strawbery shortcake but it had strwberries, pinnaples and bananas yuummm =). Then I took a shower, and here I am.
Wow, that was VEEERRRYYY detailed!!
Goodnight (Bonsoir) =]
Luv ya mama and Timmaay
