Today, we went to Space Needle and EMP (Experience Music Project)

It was a good day, a good idea by the teachers to make us visit these places, especially the EMP (even if the Space Needle was interesting). When we went in the EMP, we were so impressed by the huge column in the hall, composed by more than one hundred guitars! Then we walked away and we have seen a guitar which belonged to Jimi Hendrix, in fact it was a broken guitar that he has broken during a concert. Afterwards, we came into a room where we played each other the instrument of our choice (guitar, drums or keyboard)… And of course a singer. We were recorded playing, singing, dancing, enjoying, etc, in front of a real virtual public. At the end of the “show”, we had the possibility to buy our “music”, DVD, or a poster of us. When we came back to school, the rain joins us on the road.

After having left our friends, Guillaume and I were taken by the Blaines (Guillaume’s host father) to the Museum of Flight. It was very interesting and we saw a lot of planes hanged to the ceiling.

This morning, I rose at 7:30 o'clock because wesneday the class began later. Holly's father had prepared me a good coffee. Then Holly's friends took us to school with her car and like all mornings, we passed on bridge floating of the Lake Washington. I began my first class by the French class with begginer and we should speak on the little group and they understood my jokes, it was very funny. After I went in the Spanish class with Guillaume, the class was very energic. And after I lunched with a French group and their correspondant. After that, I had another French class but with older pupils who have taken French for 4 years and in French, we had a really good exchange. And after the French class, I had a science class with Holly, my correspondant. I understood class because I already known this lesson. Then we waited with Hollyfor her dad and we spoke with Mme Davis, the French teacher and Holly's friends. Holly went to the Doctor and I stayed at home. The night, Holly's family made a surprise for me, they had a lot of presents for my family and I, got a chocolate, book on Seattle, and a necklace so cute at Holly. After that, for the last day for us we came in the good restaurant, Duck, near the lake of washington. It's a seafood restaurant, and it was very good, with a marina decorate. This made me think of Bretagne. We took a photo of the space needle and Holly and I. And for the end we had a slurpee, it's a drink that we don't have in French (iced drink). And we went sleeping.
This family is really lovely, they welcome me very very well, I'm very happy but I'm sad to leave.

Mardi avec Hugo , nous sommes allés dans l'aquarium de Seattle accompagnés de la mère de mon correspondant. Nous y avons vu toute sorte d'animaux marins : des poissons, un poulpe, des méduses, des otaries, des morses . Certains ont été nourris devant nous comme le poulpe et les otaries c'est un très beau spectacle . Le plus impressionnant pour moi était le dôme sous-marin ou l`on voyait de magnifique poissons (soles raies et même un requin).

Nous y avons aussi vu des oiseaux marins plongeant sous l'eau pour se nourrir, enfin nous avons observés et touchés des étoiles de mer et des ané mones. Hugo et moi avons beaucoup aimé la visite. L'aquarium est vraiment très grand.

Matinée studieuse

Voici 2 photos prises il y a quelques minutes.
On voit nettement que les 'Frenchies' ne sont pas là QUE pour s'amuser! Ils jouent consciencieusement leur rôle d'animateurs autour du professeur de Français Madame Judy Davis.

This morning we had French.It's great to talk to american students in French because that makes us know that we're not alone to get some little difficulties in foreign languages!First we spoke with american students about great places in Seattle and then we played with them, they gave us the name of a place in Seattle and we had to give some details about this.Ombeline and Louis finally won.After it,I went to sport . It's really impressive to french people to see all the prep's trophies exposed.We had lunch.Today I had in my sandwich: peanut butter with jelly. Don't be surprised most of teenagers had the same flavor. Indeed,It's really tasty.
This afternoon, we had maths, the teacher is really funny. He spent ten minutes in the beginning of the class to tell to the students how this hour would be wonderful...Today was a trial day, It means that students were taking sport exams then they go to a team according to their level.The main objective is to get varsity team,the best team.So we waited for our hosts and visiting the Prep for the rest of the day.
