Today was the start of our first weekend with our host families. With no organized plan for all of us Americans, we each did something different. I, as well as the rest of my host family, started the day by sleeping in. Later, because it was so nice outside, we ate a huge, delicious lunch on the back porch. Tomatoes, mashed potatoes, fillet mignon, cheese, bread, and fruit salad! In the afternoon, my exchange student, Lucile, had synchronized swimming practice, so I went downtown with Sarah, Lucy and their exchange students to shop. We went into a few stores and stopped by a bakery along the way. It was very fun!
