Parc Asterix

Last Wednesday/Thursday was officially our last rotary event together! On Wednesday night we went to Lens (between Lille and Paris) to spend the night at our Rotary Presidents house. We had a BBQ outside and had an award ceremony for all of the students who were leaving this summer. After a few tears, we went upstairs and had the entire top level to ourselves (34 of us). One of the kids made a powerpoint presentation for us all to watch, it was really good. A few other people sang which made everyone cry, then we finished it off with speeches. I'm going to miss my oldies so much, they helped me out so much in my exchange, helped me with my French and got my through the fist half of my year! Now I have to be the big exchange student and help out all the newbies who will be arriving in August. Anyway, we got up in the morning and took a bus towards Paris to go to Parc Asterix! It was an awesome sunny day, and there were heaps of people there. A friend and I ran straight to the biggest roller coaster because apparently the line gets really big. The rest of the day we just ran around going on all the rides and laughing. (I chose a really bad salad over fries for lunch and everyone was bagging me). I made a little video of the day below: I hope you enjoy it!
