December And January!!

I'm super behind on my updates and I won't be able to say everything that I want so I figured it would be easiest if I just put up all the pictures and write descriptions on them. I will say that I really cannot believe it is already the end of January! It has gone by SO fast and it makes me sad and excited at the same time! I know I won't be able to do and see everything that I want to while I'm here, but I'm so grateful for this opportunity that I've had! I learn so much everyday that I'm here! Enjoy the pictures!
Le Mont Saint Michel! It is amazing! It's a rocky island in Normandy
and about 3,000,000 people visit it each year! 

Restaurant on the island. I love it, it looks so French!



It's so amazing how they built all of this on such a rocky island!

The church


It was a little bit warmer in there. 




I don't know what this is...but it looked cool.


I made Antoine come with me...it was like his 9th time there.


One of my favorite parts!

They used this to haul up supplies when it use to be a prison



I always wanted me a knight in shining armor....




So cool, I was scared I was gonna get stuck!



Christmas Eve with Jennifer in Belgium!

I love this picture so much!!! She got me hot chocolate, and
as you can tell, I love hot chocolate! And she just looks so
happy that I loved her gift!

Antoine got me this hat for Christmas! It was very thoughtful
because he knew I wanted a Christmas hat, and that style! 

We sang Christmas carols in English to the Belgians. It was...
great. Jennifer and I joke because we did that on three different
occasions. We told ourselves we were on tour! 

Christmas morning. Our mothers both sent us some stockings
so we decided to bring them to Belgium and look through them
on Christmas. It was definitely a very different Christmas this year
with a totally different atmosphere, but I was happy to be able to
celebrate it in Belgium and see how others celebrate it. 

Ok, story time. So I wanted a picture of myself in the Belgium
metro train. So I asked Antoine if he would take it for me. Right
as he was going to click the button he said, "Poop." As you can
tell in the picture I was very confused. I was in the middle of
deciding if he had really said that or not. It was hilarious!

The atomium in Brussels, Belgium. It was cool on the
outside but not very interesting on the inside.

Good view


Eating Belgian fries with the missionaries

Manneken Pis (or in French Le Petit Julien). Famous
little statue. I absolutely love it!

In Liege with our tour guide Gregoire. 

We loved that there was an old American Ford
in Belgium so we took a picture

The statue at the top of the stairs. I don't  know anything
about it. haha

THE stairs

A Belgian waffle with Belgian chocolate inside. Life was really great!

The church

Marie-Faustine wanted to try my glasses on...they fit so well...

New Years Eve magic show



Yes, I ate these. No, they were not good.

Midnight! There was dancing and throwing things at each other!
It was really fun. A random French guy started dancing with me..
it was interesting.

Cancale, France. Super pretty! I'm sure it's even prettier in the summer!



I will owe this house one day



We are so cool! 

We went on a walk/hike in the forest 

These kids love to climb trees!



I guess this use to be a volcano and behind me there
was some old volcano remainings





They love going to the Park! We go at least once a week!

Puzzles. They love doing puzzles. They love doing puzzles in my room.
They also love to leave all the puzzle pieces lying around my room.


That is mostly what I have been up to since my last update. Hopefully I will be better at it after this!
