Aujourd’hui je woke up at 12:35 this afternoon apres going to bed at around 8 o’clock last night. Apres 16 heurs of sleep, I was invited by ma host mother to manger. I accepted and we walked downstairs to la cuisine. She had made pasta! J’aime pasta! I noticed that there was meat in the pasta. I said qu’est-ce et ma host mother said it was le veau. She showed me a book of french/english things and pointed to the one that said le veau. In other words, I took a bite of calf. After I knew what it was, I only ate the noodles. I guess I have a thing about eating baby animals.

After brunch, I went with Marine et Olivier to ride the horses. Marine rode Keat, Olivier rode Axel, et I rode Iris. We walked a little and then started to trot. I was a little nervous because I haven’t rode in a while. After trotting for a min or so, we started galloping. Not cantering. Not loping. Galloping. We galloped up a hill then started walking again. We walked off the street and into a field. Iris was already acting funny because he had beaucoup l’énergie. He started to trot, then I guess he started to gallop. Apres trying to stop him, I was sadly introduced to the ground. I tried taking my feet out of the stirrups so je could jump off, mais je guess je was too late. Luckily it was grass so je was not injured that badly, just a sore hip and probably a good sized bruise tomorrow. I am ok though, I walked Axel back to their field et Marine rode Keat while Olivier walked Ivis. Back at their field, we brushed the horses and let them go graze. We drove to Olivier’s flat, he et Marine changed clothes et then Marine et je drove back to her house.

Maintenant, je am petting Calinou, le chat, et nous are about to manger le dîner.

Again, to let everyone know, I am fine!! No worries! Let’s just say, someone owes me a dollar! 😀

More later,
