THURSDAY 22ND JANUARY 2009
After sleeping for a while, we got out and had 2hrs in Lens to explore and have lunch, so naturally, being the teenagers we are, we looked for a Macdoe. Unfortunately it was a fair way away so we settled for pizza which was so good! Jessica came with us again and it was fun fun fun! We had some pizza called a "chicken cheese" which was v.delicious. After that we walked around in the drizzle (yuck) for about 40mins and Gem bought some shoes, Aria and Amma bought a jacket each, Alex bought some cologne, and I bought some french magazines and a body wash that smells like chocolate! Smells SOOOOOO good, I can't wait to use it :)
-ARRAS, 4+ WINDY AND RAINING ALL DAY
So so so so so tired, these long days make me extra tired. Got to school, had our daily 8-9am catch up in the staff room eating these tasty biscuits which are a bit like milk arrowroots but better, then went and waited for the bus to take us to Lens, about 1/2 an hour from Arras- where I went for the soccer the other day. When we got to Lens a tour guide hopped on the bus and we drove around Lens for 2hrs listening to this guy talk about how important Lens is to the mining industry, because it was a major mining area. It was tres tres tres boring, but at least we weren't outside in the cold : EXCEPT for when we went to the top of an artificial mountain that the miners made- it was sooo cold and insanely windy- we nearly got blown off the mountain HAHA.

We then all chilled in the Foyer- I love that place :)
Tonight we're having crepes for dinner, and Cami made a MASSIVE batch, like it's insane how much she made. So she taught me how to make them and I flipped one! It was so funny. Tried to upload the video but for some reason it's not letting me sorry. Will try again another time!! 
Love you, miss everyone and hot weather!

Hey Poppsy
ReplyDeletevery quiet here, we miss you but can see that you are having a great time.
How about a close up of the boots?
Would love some cheese but don't think you'll be able to bring back :( customs are pretty hot on that. we will call and ask question. If you can find out the name of the cheese and we might be able to track down for you in Melbourne. not the same as being ashlee bought from france but maybe a nice compromise.
call us!!!!!!
Lots of love Dad
