As my first week in Rennes comes to a close, I only have one word in response: "WOW"

Speaking of the word 'first', this week I noticed that I got to experience a lot of new things, many of which I was experiencing for the very first time. Below, you will find a list of some amazing things I got to do in just the FIRST week of my trip.

For the First time...

  • I rode on a train in Europe
  • I saw and swam in the Atlantic Ocean
  • I ate galettes, a tradtional food from Brittany
  • I stepped foot in a European country
  • I stayed the night with a host family
  • I stepped inside a European Cathedral
  • I flew over an ocean
  • I saw the movie Black Panther (in French!)
  • I spoke French with a native speaker
  • I ate traditional Canadian Poutine at a restaurant in Rennes called Poutine Bros
  • I had a picnic inside a famous French park
  • I witnessed the typical day of a French high school student
  • I ate French chocolate, cheese, and crêpes on a tour
  • and SO many more!

With so many things planned for the coming weeks, I am so excited to take in all of the amazing things that life in France has to offer.
