haha, elena, my next door neighbor, lent me her laundry detergent this morning and i did my "delicates". they have now been drying all day, and i'm hoping they'll be ready to wear by tomorrow (but it's all good, i'm not lacking too much in underwear.) ;)

so this is my plan for this loooong weekend (with a sporadic class on friday):
i plan to go straight to paris to visit versaille right after class tomorrow (wednesday; actually i'll be leaving 15mins earlier from class) have dinner with patricia, cinzia and lisa.

thursday i plan on spending the day in la rochelle, chill at the beach, take in site-seeing (it's 2 hrs from Tours)

friday i have class until 12:10pm so i have to go do that, do a dictation, and then i will be heading back towards Paris to see Monet's flower garden in Giverny.

saturday is the institut trip to Mont St. Michel and St. Malo which will take all day, and finally sunday i will probably head towards Bordeaux to St. émilion, a small mediaeval village for the day before going back to Tours.

hopefully it will go through, and if it does, i might not be in on the internet for awhile, so i'll update everyone when i get back! bonne chance!

adieu!
