It's SNOWING!


This is incredible. Here I travel across an ocean for Christmas break in hopes of seeing snow in the midwestern United States, where it snows ALL the time, and not a flake. But as soon as I get back to Southern France we get a blizzard! There is probably 3 inches of snow on the ground here, and it's still coming pretty steadily. Everyone who had exams today has had them canceled!

London!


This has almost all of my London pictures and most of the video I took there! You might want to turn down your volume before playing it. The music is probably a little loud. I hope you like it : )

Pictures from 2008 (Christmas concert and Nice)

This is the view from the back of the Cathedrale Saint Sauveur, where I had a Christmas concert back in December. One of my friends invited me to sing with her church choir and it was a lot of fun! It's an international church so all the carols were in English.

We had to sit down at several points during our concert so the speakers could say their verses, and at one point we sang the 12 days of Christmas from right there. We stood up for each verse according to birth months. For example, all January birthdays stood up when we sang "a partridge in a pear tree," and Feb. birthdays stood up at "2 turtle doves." It was fun!







My friend took some video of us singing! Enjoy : )


Our group took a trip to Nice back in December, and of course I'm late in putting those pics up too. There was a carnival set up downtown for Christmas. For some reason, the French associate Christmas with ferris wheels and carousels. There were rides and everything downtown in Aix before break too.

One of the prettiest pictures I've taken so far. This is in Nice too.
