We began the day with a later start at 9am at Saint Ursule. We split into rooms with our exchange students and began playing various card and board games. Our group played a game called le loup-garou (the werewolf). This game is very similar to the American game Mafia, except with a lot of extra roles. These roles made the game slightly confusing but gave us a lot of new vocabulary words! Then we continued the game day by playing headbands and Essquissé (pictionary telephone). After that we had a lunch, at school, of pasta and calamari with a Nutella donut. Since we had 2 entire hours for lunch, we were able to play basketball for a long time. We played with the french students and did games like girls vs. boys and French vs. Americans. We then departed on our scavenger hunt through out the city of tours. I was in a group of 6 (Elena, Irene, Jaida, Elizabeth, Mathilde and I). We further explored the city as we searched for historical monuments discovered through the hints we were given. We took pictures with all the stops of the scavenger hunt and even stopped to grab some water at a coffee shop on the way. We arrived back to the school and got back with plenty of time. We then relaxed at Saint Ursule and ate a small snack and a drink provided by some of the French students. Afterwards Mathilde (my exchange student) took Irene, Elena, and me to meet her father at a café and grab some coffees. Mathilde and I walked home and had a quiet and relaxed night in as we watched movies together and ate a casual dinner with her mother. June 7th was overall a great day in the exchange in Tours and we are excitedly looking forward to the ropes course tomorrow.
It sounds like everyone was really getting to know one another and have a lot of fun together!
