Day 45: Il faisait beau aujourd'hui! / It was beautiful today!

Today was the first really warm day we've had in Avignon since I've been here. I checked the weather this morning and it said mid 50s with 60% chance of rain. So I packed my umbrella and my raincoat, put in my contacts so I wouldn't have to deal with raindrops on my glasses.

I went to Literature class from 11am to 12:30pm. Then I left class and walked to the post office. I had to pick up the package I received from my Mom and Dad. It had been delivered to the Institute but since I was on break last week, the Institute was open limited hours. So when they tried to deliver the package (the postman rides around on a bike with a little basket!) no one was there to receive it. After leaving the post office with my very heavy package, I came out to find that it was sunny, bright, and almost - dare I say - hot!

The rest of my day was uneventful. Michel and Claudie were very excited to receive more chocolate covered things (nuts, berries, etc.). We had ratatouille tart (tart not to be confused with quiche) - very delicious (as usual)!

There was a cool street playing band (tuba, trumpet, etc.) that was playing all day - literally for about 6 hours until they were kicked out by the police!

That's it for today.
