La famille d'accueil (host family)
So, yesterday I finally got to Rennes via Chartres. That was pretty cool, cause we got to see probably the best Gothic cathedral in the world. Our tour guide was British, so that was pretty funny and cool at the same time. He is supposedly the most predominant researcher of the Chartres cathedral, so he wanted to keep us there for a week, but we were only there for like 2 hours max. When we got to Rennes it was around 6:00 in the evening. We went into one of the buildings on campus and pretty much played Red Robin with the host families. We stood on one side with all the baggage, and they on the other. Then they called out the parents, and they walked to the middle, and then the students, who went to meet them. I was like number 3. Only my host mom was there cause my host dad was off on a boat for vacation. So we raced one of her friends home who lives like 3 minutes away and is also hosting a student and we won. Woot. Anyways, she seems like she has done this before, so it wasn't too awkward or anything so that was good. She has a son living there of 22 years I think, but during dinner, her other son who got married on Saturday came and showed us his pictures of the wedding. The dinner was quite delicious. My host dad plays guitar and piano, which is awesome. But all in all, I think that they will be great. Also Rennes is seemingly a pretty nice city.
