Day 9 by Max

This morning was very lucky for all of us. Since flooding was occurring in the town, we didn’t go to school until 13h or 1:00 pm! This meant that we all slept in. We were supposed to go to another chateau, but unfortunately it was cancelled because of flooding and strikes that we’re going on in the area. But this doesn’t mean we didn’t have an amazing time.  On our walk to school, my exchange and I tried to go through our normal route, but police were blocking the way. There were many protests that were going on by the Main Street revolving around the gas strikes. I believe that the workers are striking against them getting too many hours. This was very interesting because I’ve never seen protests in my life. We got to go to a ropes course which was actually so much fun. Many of us were so scared to do these long, unbelievably high courses and zip lines, but it was an adrenaline rush. Being that high in the air with the wind rushing in our faces, or drastically trying to find a place to land our feet for our fast descent was beyond fun. In my opinion, it was one of the best days of the trip so far.
