Ok....it's picture time!!! But first I will tell you about my day in St. Malo. Today we woke up and drove to St. Malo where Annalise is staying. I will be staying here for a week with Maelle-Marie and Aymeric and the two girls Annalise is watching, Marion and Sarah. They will be taking sailing lessons for two weeks and we get to sit on the beach until they are done. It will be awesome because it is super pretty here!!! When we got here we hung out for a little bit and then the kids took me to see the ocean. It was beautiful as you will see the pictures below. We came back and got our swimsuits on and went back to the ocean to swim. It is freezing!!!! The kids persuaded me to get all the way in....but it definitely took me awhile. We went back to the house and ate a very tasty meal. Annalise has a camera on her computer that does the distorted pictures so we did that with the kids and they thought it was hilarious! It was so funny to see them doing that! We also played a lot of ping pong and Aymeric is a pro!! He beats me every time! Maelle-Marie is such a great help. She always explains the conversations in french that our going around me. Then everyone went to the beach where the kids will be doing there sailing lessons so we know where to take them. We got back and ate dinner and then got the kids ready for bed. It has been a great day in St. Malo and I can't wait to spend the rest of the week here. Here are some pictures of St. Malo and also of the fish and crab that I said I would put up.
The kids tried to trick me, they told me if I ate the head of the fish I would become even more smart....don't worry, I didn't.
Story time: it was embarrassing but really funny. So I don't know French. Yet. I wanted a picture with me and all the kids together at the beach so I asked Maelle-Marie if she would ask a guy on the beach to take it for us. He said yes and started asking questions and I had no idea what he was saying so Maelle-Marie answered for me. She told him I was American and couldn't speak French so at least he knew I wasn't just stupid. Anyways after he took the picture I meant to say "Thank you very much" which is "Merci beaucoup" But for some reason I was not even thinking at all and I said "Tres beaucoup" which "tres" means very and "beaucoup" means a lot/very much. So basically I just said "very a lot" or "very very much." haha. I caught myself and said "OH!! Merci beaucoup." And they just laughed and said, "Tres bien" (very good).
