Day 27: Pau, France

I had fun today.  I started my day by going to class.  We did something really easy--I don't remember what, and it was terrible.  After class, I went to La Vague by myself.  It was nice to just have a little quiet/alone time.  After, I went to talk to Ryan in the USAC office about my class.  He said to still wait, but that they would peobably talk to her.  I don't know if he did or not, but either way, class in the afternoon was much better.  We reviewed a couple of verb tenses, and I think one of them may have actually been new to me.  I don't recall ever having learned it. 

After class, I went home to practice.  I managed to play for about two hours in one session.  That in itself is a huge improvement.  I'm still not where I need to be, but I do think I am not embarrassing anymore, either.

I then went downtown to eat with Erin, Laura, Jenny and Courtney.  We ended up finding a little cafe in the old part of town near the chateau, and eating there.

Looking into the old part of the city.

 The dinner was not really fantastic, but the one lady who owned the place and cooked and served was really nice, so it was fine.  After, we went to an ice cream place on the Boulevard des Pyrenees.  Most of the cafes around here have chairs that face out towards the mountains.  They don't really work at night...
The peach sorbet I got was really, really good.  (Markedly not as good as the mango sorbet I had in Spain, but whatever.) It was nice to just sit and chat for a while.

 When we finished our ice cream, Jenny and Courtney went to drink and Laura and I went back to Erin's room and we watched Fight Club.  I've seen it a lot of times, and I like it, but I was really tired, so it was tough to enjoy it.  When I tried to leave, I discovered I had left my house key safe and secure inside of my house.  Unable, to get inside, I slept in Laura's dorm room. I slept on three bed sheets folded up.  It was really great.

My really fancy luxury bed.
