Definitely had an adventure of a day today with Vanessa and Jessica!!
First Jessica and I slept in, which was lovely, after which we had a delicious lunch at a cafe right in front of the cathédrale :)
Then, we ran to the tram and just barely made it, jumping inside right before the doors closed. We went to a meeting for internationals at our university, and then met up with our new French friend Vanessa to take the bus into Kehl, Germany, where we went grocery shopping, had dinner together, and almost got attacked by a homeless man...well, not exactly, but he did have a can attached to the end of a fishing pole which he thrust at us (with a smile), frightening us a little bit. Haha. Then we went back to the bus stop, where we waited in the cold for about 30 minutes before realizing that the busses weren't running tonight due to a workers' holiday or a strike or something like that. So we took a taxi instead. Then, when we were just about to enter the Foyer (where we live), we were approached by two young men, one playing the guitar, and both wearing labcoats (and nothing else besides the labcoats, mind you). They were high school students from a biology program who were trying to raise money for a field trip. It was very strange, but kind of hilarious.
Needless to say, we were very glad that Vanessa was with us during the crazier moments, or we would not have known what to do. But now we do :) Now just to learn enough German to actually find what we need at the grocery store next time...haha.
Que Dieu vous bénisse,
Marie
