PHOTOS!







Ok so this post can just be heaps of photos of stuff because i can't be bothered writing anything and I think we're having dinner soon!

So this is Kasey and Jacques in our first week. Our correspondents had boring classes or classes that we didn't understand (eg. SVT, physique, Allemand, Espagnol...) so Kasey, Jacques, me and I think someone else went out into Montpellier. This shot was taken on the top of the Corum, a random performance building near the school. You can go up onto the roof and see out across Montpellier, it's very cool. Someone had written their Myspace address up there in grafiti!








This is a photo of Pollux, Alix's dog, on the table on the front porch at Michel's house (Alix's dad). Pollux is such a cute dog but he's not supposed to sit on the table! All the leaves in the garden have now been burnt so it's clear again but it was so nice with all the leaves!



La Cathédrale Saint Pierre de Montpellier.


This is a cathedral we all visited together. The school organised a little tour of Montpellier on our first Friday at school and the random tour guide took us here, along with some other places. It's really big and very beautiful inside. Unfortunately my photos from inside are not very good because it was too dark for my poor camera! The tour guide managed to get the people at the church to let us see a chapel not normally open to the public. It was so beautiful!




This is the water tower of Montpellier. I think it's Roman. It's lovely up close...on the other side the aquaduct, les Arceaux, strides away into the distance. It's magnificent, i'll have to get a good photo of it! This is in the park across the road from the Arc de Triomphe (the Montpellier one, not the Paris one).




I found a good picture of the aquaduct! But it doesn't really show all the arches and everything very well!




This is a beach I visited with Alix and her mum Françoise on Sunday 10th December. It's right next to the Cathédrale de Maguelone which we also visited. It's a 12th Century Middle Ages cathedral and it's very beautiful...simple and peaceful! And the beach was nice too!


Yes I know that's not many and there's almost none of people, I'm sorry but the rest are still on my camera so I'll have to do it another time!
It's 10:10 pm and we're about to have dinner so cya!
Emma.

We went to all those places - soo exciting. And that room that you went in with simone at the Louvre...if it is the one simone posted a picture of on her blog, we did go there - i remember it!! Very nice, lots of strange levels and short staircases and like open corridors on the side etc.
Anyways...
