Seeing Wicked last night was absolutely amazing! If you haven't already seen it, I highly recommend it. The woman who played Elpheba had a fantastically powerful voice. That was a lovely end to our stay in London.
Our flight this morning from London to Lyon was nice. It was neat to look at the cute little farming villages as we flew in closer to Lyon. Then our bus ride from Lyon to Grenoble was quite breathtaking. I sat in the top of our double decker coach bus right up to the window, so I had a prime view of the rolling hillside, ancient churches and old residential areas, as well as the three huge mountain chains that surround the city of Grenoble. It was a sunny day with blue skies and a few perfectly placed white clouds dotting around the mountain tops.
When we arrived, Miranda- our director, gave us a nice orientation of the area and some things to expect. She seems absolutely wonderful- very helpful, open, and has a great sense of humor. We then had a great dinner tonight with the whole group, chatting and taking our time over the traditional French meal.
I am so full of excitement and hope right now. I hope I can keep my spirits up as I continue to face the fatique that comes along with these jam-packed days and new stresses that are bound to appear. I feel so happy to be pushing myself to speak French with some of the students and try new things. Every day is a new adventure.
