I just hung up with Marine, my host sister. We were video chatting on Skype. She sounds so nice and told me about my future school and what she does for fun. The school is a private school called St. Joseph. They live in the city called Laillé and they are very family oriented. Marine loves being with her family and friends. She is making me feel so good about going to France. She said I will go with her and her family on all their trips and we will be able to go to Paris, the Eiffel Tower, and Moulin Rouge. I am so excited about all this!!!

The time difference from here, Hawaii, and Laillé is 12 hours. So it is now 9pm here and 9am there. I am getting ready for bed and she just woke up. Marine also said I will Skype with my parents when I am in France because family is a big thing. That also makes me happy!!

Well, I am going to bed now. More soon!
