Hello dear readers! I have something to share with you! Two weeks ago, in the beginning of March, I spent probably the best time so far in my exchange year…
Tuesday, March 4th, Hedda, Jakob and I spent an incredible nice day and evening together. First after a few days at Heddas placewe went in to the “city” called Lannion. We decided pretty quickly to go bowling, but first we decided to buy what we needed for camping and a small gift to the the family Lempereur to host us for two nights.
After we had bought what we needed we went to the bowling area to play a round, and that was a lot of fun! We played just one round, and we got strikes and everything! I have to say it’s a long time since I played bowling the last time… Right when we finished our round of bowling, Célia came. Célia is an incredibly nice girl I met during the international week in Lannion, in fact she was Lanes host sister for the week.. We stayed in this area until 20:30 playing air hockey, and pool, lots of fun!
Then we got picked up by Jannick Lempereur, who brought us to his place, close to the ocean. We could leave some of our stuff with him in his house, and then off we went to find a place to camp.. After a fifteen minute walk we finally found a place to camp, a small grass plot, not far from the sea. When we found the place we set our tent, went searching for rocks for our camp fire. After finding everything we needed to make a fire and the tent was set we could finally sit down and celebrate Hedda and Jakobs 18th birthday. We had bought a bottle of wine, but of course forgot a wine opener.. No problem though because we improvised, and opened the bottle with a shoe and a rock ;) When the wine was served in some plastic cups, the hot dogs were smoking, the fire was warming and the conversation was all about our good camping memories, I almost felt at home. This feeling I got in this exact moment was a feeling I have missed, a feeling that brought me back to late summer nights at our cabin URA. And it doesn’t stop there when the fire died out and the wine was empty, I glanced at the sky to see countless stars, the sky had cleared up and it was incredible to watch all the stars. It was the best night so far during my exchange year, because a little part of me felt at home, a feeling I haven’t had in a long time. The next morning, Jannick woke us up right at the time of sunrise with fresh pain au chocolat and croissants. It was so incredibly nice of him to do that, and if you read this THANK YOU JANNICK, for everything!!!
I will soon make a post where i put mostly pictures!
