Monday, June 13, 2016 - leaving USA, 1st day in France
Today was a great first day. Everyone did well on the plane....a few took some Dramamine, others slept, but we arrived just fine. Customs went well and everyone was happy to get a stamp one their passport! After arriving at our hotel, Hotel de Flore, Nice France, we dropped our luggage and suited up for the plane/beach. We took a train....the local train which was a cool experience for the students. We arrived at Juan les Pains and gave the students about 3 hours to play in the Mediterranean, get some lunc, and just relax on the beach. The weather was perfect! After relaxing we headed back to the hotel to change for dinner. We have dinner at La Cambeuse where we ate the local favorites including Salade Nicoise (without the anchovies), chicken with a fried potato (gratin), followed by an amazing dresser (in the pics) mousse au chocolat with a gooey inside chocolate and a white sauce on top!! There wasn't a drop left on any of the plates.
The students are doing really well at mingling with the group from Chippewa Falls & Richland, Washington! There are going to be some great friendships at the end of the trip! It was an early night after all of the travel (well over 24 hours) ....so early to bed as Tuesday will bring many more cool adventures!
