It’s the
second week here in Grenoble and everyday I find something new that
gives me more reason not to return back to the United States. In my
last blog post I said that my family goes hiking at least once a
week- guess what I did yesterday? Hiking. This town is so much
different than my hometown because everyone here is so active and
athletic. You always see people running, especially up to the
Bastille, which I cant even imagine doing, and the majority of the
people here are fit.
I love
cheese as much as the next person, but there’s only so much moldy
cheese a girl can eat before she wants to throw up. Some of the
cheese here is really good, I’m just not a fan of the moldy cheese,
or duck liver, or bunnies. Not my thing. But I still try everything
that’s put in front of me, because I’m always surprised at what I
do like.
Another
thing I’ve noticed here that’s different from back home, is that
the guys are a lot more… ballsy, if you will. They aren’t afraid
to go up to a girl and tell her she’s pretty, which is a nice self
esteem booster don’t get me wrong. I’ve volunteered to work at
the American Corner which is a resource center that provides
information about the United States, how to move there, etc. Today,
I’m also going to sign up to take a trip to Venice. That’s one
thing I love about being in Europe; taking a weekend trip to Italy or
Switzerland is the equivalent of taking a weekend trip to
Philadelphia, but not as cool, because it’s a different state, not
a different country.
