Anirudh Kota - June 4 in France

Today started off the first day of our last week with our correspondents. We started the day off by having a class with our teachers, Ms. Jones and Mrs. Walden. After that we had a bit of free time and then we were off to the Mairie de Tours. The Mairie de Tours is a little like the mayor as he has some responsibilities to the city. If someone wants to get married they would go to the Mairie and have it done. We toured around the building of le Mairie and found some very nice rooms (like the one in front of the chimney). After a big tour of the building we got let out for lunch. For lunch a couple of the guys and I went out to a restaurant which had the best fries ever! Unfortunately they weren’t as good the second time around but they were still quite good. After lunch we slowly reassembled back at the school and then left for our highly anticipated dance class. It was in another town close to Tours and so we had to walk to take a bus to the other town and from there walk to the studio. We were all hot and sweaty by the time we had gotten to the dance studio but there was more sweat to come. We first did a small dance by without partners and then we started to do pair dancing. We started off very basic with just the footwork and after that we got more advanced as we learnt how to correctly spin our partner and do a check. After a tiresome but fun afternoon of dancing, we headed back to school where we went back home for the day. But after a quick shower and food, we had to head out to another town again to see a Theater spectacle put on by some local actors. It included a farce about married couples and a lot of music from the Renaissance period. After a comical evening of music and theater, I got home late and fell asleep. Oh and I didn’t included my correspondent in any part of my summary today because his class won a country wide math tournament (for the second year in a row) and so they got to go to an amusement park.
