This weekend was interesting, Saturday one of my assignments was to go to the market and look for foods Ive never seen before and take notes on them. It was interesting, because Im a big fan of food, but I found that I recognized the majority. There were black green beans that ive never seen before as well as some fruits and vegetables. I was a little scared to ask the vendors about some things because the market was really crowded. I did get some fresh apple juice thats quite tasty, but I figure Ill go back next Saturday and try again.

Yesterday we went on our wine tour, which wasnt really much of a tour at all. Well, not of wine anyway.  We stopped in a bunch of small towns and mostly looked at some different churches, then went to one winery.  All the towns were quaint and charming but they sort of reminded me of going to Disneyland, where they have the different countries…everything was just very brightly colored and full of tourists, it was ok but I didnt love it. I might have if I had gotten to taste more wine.

Last night was the match, so a bunch of us went to the big town square where there was a huge screen and at least 500 people.  It was really strange though, because no one was really that excited. I kept comparing it to a Cards/Cubs game, or maybe a world series, where St. Louis would go crazy…the French didnt really seem to care.  After about 15 minutes we walked to a bar and the crowd wasnt very big but they seemed a little more excited.  Its a shame they ended up losing though because everyone just got up and left quitely.

Today I dont have a whole lot to do, our homework is to go to a restaurant and write a review which is GREAT, because Im finally planning to get myself a delicious meal.  There is a garden somewhere on the university campus that Im going to seek out because the weather is pretty nice, and Ive got to work on my tan. Or burn, whatever.

Free time is really nice here and Ive realized that I dont miss TV at all. Not even Unsolved Mysteries. Well, ok I miss Unsolved Mysteries a little, but nothing else. I feel like I have so much time to read and walk and enjoy Strasbourg. Im actually hoping to give up TV for the most part, but it is the devil box, so who knows.

Anyway, things are good, and Ill try to post more pictures soon.
