Le Tour de France!!!!!!

Okay well I am in awe!! We watched the Tour de France today, and it was a three hour event for 4 seconds of cyclists passing by! We stood out on the street for an hour before the festivities started!! And then, a caravan came by and they all loved us because we are American and very loud!! Haha but there were so many companies that sponsored vehicles in the parade that threw stuff at us!! Everything from saussage and madellines to glasses cleaners and bottles of water!! It was quite the event!! After the caravan,we waited another 45 minutes for the actual tour!! When it came by, if you blinked, you would have missed it!! However, it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen! I was thinking today how I am grateful to have witnessed two of the greatest spectacles in racing for the first time this year, the 500 and the Tour!! Pretty cool I think!

The professors decided to surprise us and not have classes this morning!! We just watched the movie of Edith Piaf, and it was very good! I love her voice! Speaking of music, I am CRAVING my American music!! It is so hard because I have it all on my phone, and it is so tempting to listen to it! I looked on there today, and I have some classical music that I think will hold me over the next two weeks!! Yes, I know it is crazy I have just two more weeks of the program before mom and dad arrive over here!! And I am here in Saint-Brieuc just 12 more days!! I can not believe it, time has flown by!! Everyday is still a challenge, but I am grateful that I have this opportunity and I thank God for all the people and experiences I have had during the past 5 weeks!! I have learned the power and the necessity of prayer this trip, and I think if I learn nothing else, I will take away from this experience that God is there for you all the time, no mater how you fell, or what you need He is there! And thanks to my mom, I have learned that He has my held tight in his hand! I thank Him everyday for the people praying for me, and I have started praying the Hail Mary in French for you as well!! Alright well I will update again this weekend! It is supposed to rain on Saturday, so I have no idea what we are going to do! Laurent is going to ask the professeurs if I can leave school next week to go on the boat wit them (Laurent and Armelle are both profs at universities here, and are both on vacation for the summer, along with the girls). But, we will see what they say!! Oh yes real quick, I had to watch a French movie for one of my classes, not a film in French, but a French film. They only have three here in the house. All the other ones are American films translated in French!! You gotta laugh, that would drive me crazy about the lips not matching the words!! Oh yes, and I must not forget Dr. House that we watch ever Tuesday here!! I have never watched in the US but everyone watches it here!! Alright I really am going to go now!! Thanks for they prayers everyone!!!!!!
