Today, I got to Saint Ursule at 8:30 because my exchange partner, Lucie, had a French class. Some of the other American students also sat in on the class until 9, when all the American students met to walk around Tours. Notably, we saw houses from the Middle Ages that are still standing and being used as residential homes. We then went to look at a French market, which had an inside section and an outside section. The vendors there were selling many things, such as fresh meat, fish, cheese, and fruits. My friends and I bought strawberries, which were delicious. We then were allowed to go get lunch, and I went to a restaurant called the Café de la Poste with my friends. I got a vegetable and tofu dish, which was very good! Half of the Americans then went to the Musée des Beaux-Arts, where we got a tour in French by a very nice and patient guide. We saw a Monet painting! Then, some of us got pastries from a patisserie and we walked to the Cathédrale Saint-Gatien. Inside, we looked at the stained glass windows and listened to someone playing the organ. Afterwards, we walked back to the school, where Lucie and I got on a bus and went to her apartment.
