4 days, 4 days, 4 days!

So...I just sorta realized that most of the people reading this do not speak French....so here's an awesomely cool translation of those letters:

Hello Amanda,

I had a student last year during the Avignon theatre festival in July, it went very well.

I listen to Rose, Zazie, Christope Mae, Ayo, Micky Green, and Alicia Keys who I am going to go see in concert tomorrow.

There are a lot of french films that I appreciate, it's difficult to name my favorite. I really liked "Je vais bien ne t'en fais pas", all the films with Sophi Marceau. A long time ago I saw "jeux d'enfants" with Marion Cotillard et Guillaume Canet, Marion Cotillard is a great actress who won the oscar this year!

You can have a lot of fun here because you are 19 and can drink alcohol.

Do you know any of the students you are going with?

Talk to you later,
Myriam

Hello,

It's to bad that you're going home in June because the festival begins the 1st of July, There are huge plays put on, and lots and lots of people in town because there are street events too.

For information here, it's about 15 degrees for most of the day. I live in a region where it is always beautiful, with little rain, lots of sun, but a great deal of wind during certain periods. Don't forget to bring your bathing suit because here we swim during the months of May. I can't wait for it to get warm!

Tonight I am finally going to see Alicial Keys in Marseill, I am very happy and impatient. Then I'm taking this weekend for two days because it's Easter, I'll start work again Tuesday.

I hope you will have the occasion to go to Marseille, which is magnificent and next to the ocean. It's the second biggest city in France. You will see here that the cities are much smaller than where you live and we live in villages that are less than 10,000 people. My parents live in a village with 1000 inhabitants.

Have a good day
Talk to you later
Myriam
