First few days in Grenoble

Now that I have gotten a new phone, and it's not tracking my location like my old one was, I figured I would just start a new blog to make things easier.

I have had a lovely time so far here in Grenoble. I've been eating fantastic food, learning how to get around the city, and starting classes.

The other night I went to see L'illusioniste with my host mom, which is from the director of Les Triplettes de Belleville, which is a fantastic film as well. We rode bikes and I just followed her as she wove in and out of moving cars without stopping for traffic. It was pretty intense.

Yesterday after class a few of us went out to eat at a fantastic little restaurant - I got des Raviolis au Saumon and it was absolutely delicious. We had a lovely time.

Today we went to the Musée de Grenoble and I took a gazillion pictures because there were so many gorgeous paintings. I began to sort of identify my likes and dislikes when it comes to art, because the vast majority of the photos I took were of very old paintings, and when we got to the modern art section I sort of lost interest, haha.

The painting at the left was my favorite one. Painted in 1802 by Baron François Gérard, it's called "Flore caressée par Zéphyr." I think it's absolutely gorgeous.

Tomorrow Anthony arrives at about 14:3o, and I'm going to go pick him up from the train station and show him around a bit. I can't wait for him to get here! This weekend he is coming with my group to visit Marseille and Aix-en-Provence, it's going to be fantastic.

Well, I will certainly do my best to keep this thing updated. We'll see how it goes.
