The past two weeks have been very eventful and we have done a lot of activities. Every morning we got up early and went to bed very late so when we were told that we could sleep in late and didn’t have any morning activities we were very happy. I woke up around 11:30 so I missed breakfast but they were already cooking lunch. We had chicken and home fries and it was very good. We got ready for the ropes course and left.
The ropes course was very fun and I did three different courses! They had different colors based on their level and they were a variety of lengths. Then first course that Niki, Haley, and I completed took about 10-15 minutes and it was a beginners course so we could get ready for the harder ones. The second one probably took about an hour and it contained around 10-12 zip lines! It was the highest course and the longest. In the middle of the course was a very difficult mesh stair case but with team work and very good balance we did it! The last course was short and sweet and had a lot of little challenging elements.
After the rope course we went home and I went to the gym! The “gym” in France is very different than at home. It was very small and the equipment was outside but it felt good to workout! (Especially after all the bread we’ve been eating) My and Shiloh’s students are at a dance class and we are eating dinner and getting ready to go to a party tonight! We are eating at McDonalds and we believe it is so much better here. They have potato wedges and fries and the food is made with less grease. The down side is it’s expensive but they do that so people won’t eat too much of it. We love the culture and the experiences are enlightening!
Maddy, for someone with your balancing skills and athleticism, those ropes courses must have been a walk in the park!!
