A couple days ago we took the bus to Villefranche, which is located right next to the city of Nice. We had a picnic of a Mediterranean rice salad on the beach, and then played a game of keep-away with a soccer ball. A little shop next to the beach made gaufres (waffles) with Nutella, so of course we had to try them. They were so delicious. Anything with Nutella is delicious! We then made our way up the hill to the ruins of an old castle, which has been converted into an outdoor movie theater. We saw Rock of Ages (Rock Forever in French) starring Tom Cruise. The dialogue of the movie was dubbed in French, but the music was kept in English. The music was the best part of the whole movie...."I love rock and roll!"
Yesterday was our weekly trip to the beach at St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, but it was a little different since it was a student's birthday! After we spent a great deal of time basking in the Mediterranean, we all helped cook a special dinner for her: salad, zucchini gratin, and a delicious chocolate cake. The cake was outfitted with trick candles so she had a tough time blowing them all out! Our program director drew a lovely card for her, which we all signed with warm wishes for her special day. Joyeux anniversaire!
