As expected, time is absolutely flying here in Saint Laurent! It is hard to believe that we will already have to say goodbye to several of our two-week students, but we will certainly make the most of our last day with them tomorrow. Last Thursday, we had dinner reservations at a local Thai restaurant, and I can whole-heartedly say that even Thai food tastes better in France! Even better than the fried banana nems for dessert were our karaoke singers who entertained us well into the evening. On Friday, we took a few of our two-week students to Monaco and the Fragonard perfumery in Èze. Not to worry for our other students! We will be heading back with the rest of our students next week. To begin our weekend, we organized a treasure hunt in Nice in conjunction with the Nice residential program, followed by a beach picnic for us all. A group of our students came in first place! On Saturday, we spent the day in the famous Saint Tropez! I think the majority of us mostly enjoyed the food (tarte tropézienne!), some shopping, and strolling through the picturesque streets of the small but famous towns. We were even able to catch a photo op outside of Chanel. Finally, after dinner with their families, students set back out to celebrate the 14 juillet! There was music, fireworks, and of course, more desserts. Today, we ended our weekend with a relaxing day at the Lac de Saint Cassien. We enjoyed the lake's obstacle course, peddle boats with slides, and kayaks. I think we all gave the snack bar quite a bit of business as well! Students went home in the late afternoon to get ready for the World Cup Final with their host families. On est les champions! It was a fabulous way to end the weekend, and we're looking forward another fun week in Saint Laurent. A bientôt!
