Photo time

Some photos of my adventures in France!

Here's my British friend Laura with me one of our first nights in Hyeres, near the bus station.

Nikki and me on the "boat bus" from Toulon to La Seyne. She's living in Toulon and will be taking the 20min boat ride (part of the public transit) each day to teach in La Seyne-sur-mer.
Here I am sitting on my ledge connected to my bedroom. I sit and enjoy breakfast or a cup of tea on my ledge and can look out over Hyeres each morning. This is the view from my bedroom that I was talking about!!
Nikki, Romain, Clara, and me...our friends from Couchsurfing who hosted us in Toulon! This was when they drove us up the mountain where we could look down and see all of Toulon and the surrounding towns.
Here I am, day one in Hyeres, the old part of town. There are cool passageways like this one right by where I'm living, plus lots of tiny streets with veggie markets and boulangeries, right outside my door! Somebody pinch me!
The group of people from Seattle Pacific University who will be in France for the year - most of us are doing the same teaching program, but in separate regions all across France. We all met up and hung out in Paris. Notice the crazy trained bunny I'm pointing at. It was hopping around in the park and belonged to a guy there who was whistling at it. It had a haircut like a lion. Awesome.
Nikki and me on a bench at Les Place de Vogues in Paris...so happy to be in France!
