Day 68: Fête du Printemps! / Spring Celebration!

• Lit. class: talked about photography, mixed media artists, etc.
• Lunch
• Returned home to see if I could help with the cooking for the party tonight. She had already made the "tarte aux tomates" and showed me where the tart and wine were that I was supposed to bring.
• Met Jen at the Institute to walk to the University class. Class was very fast paced ("très chargé" with 8 pages of notes, scribbling notes almost constantly for an hour and a half. Informative, but I left with a cramped hand.
• Went home, prepped for the fête, got the tarte and wine, and headed back to the Institute.
  
• The celebration was good. Sat with Jen and her host dad, Matt and his host mom, and Alaska. There was Easter stuff everywhere - chocolate eggs, etc.
  
• Most families made tarts, quiches, or something circle on a crust! (+ a salad)
  
• Deserts ranged from chocolate mousses, to chocolate cakes, to pastries, to apple tarts.
  
• Overall - delicious! :-)
• TOMORROW: I leave for AMSTERDAM!!! I won't be bringing my computer so this will be my last blog until Sunday or possibly Monday.

Bon week-end!
