Day 13- Arras

FRIDAY 23RD JANUARY 2009
-ARRAS, 9+ BUT RAINING AND WINDY AGAIN

Cami woke me up at 6am this morning but I fell back asleep till 7- not so smart Ash.. Woke up with a sore throat and feeling a little nauseous, I must've caught what Amma's got (cold/cough thing) dang. So I bought some strepsil type things which I think have medicine in them, hasn't helped too much, but hopefully it passes- I don't want to be sick for London!!
Today was foul, raining and windy- the kind of day where you just want to stay in bed and sleep or curl up on the couch with a doona, cup of hot chocolate and some good movies. Unfortunately we didn't get to do that, but instead had to walk around Arras in the cold and wet for 2hrs cos we had a guided tour. Was boring, mainly cos it was absolutely freezing with the wind and rain, but we went to the Arras Cathedral- was sooo cold inside- colder than outside, but it was very beautiful and massive! We saw the town squares also and after the tour we went back to school and chilled in the common room until Cami finished class and then we had lunch in the cafeteria. Alex and I just had wedges, which weren't bad, and we ate with Cami, Jessica, Maxime and 3 of their friends- it was good :) Was Jessica's last day at the school so all her friends were crying, but she had a french flag which everyone signed. Thinking I might wanna buy one and do the same but I don't know..
Alex and I bought stuff from the bakery after, it was v.yummy, and then we went to a cafe. Alex came back to Cami's house because Luca (his frenchie) had parent-teacher interviews or something like that. So we chilled and ate chocolate biscuits :) Had some delicious pasta thing for dinner, soooo good!!
A demain, Ash.

ps- These are my beautiful shoes which caused me so much pain! But so prettttyyy :)
