Last Days!

It's been quite a long time since my last post, and already, my course in Amboise is coming to an end! My parents will get here on Thursday, my classes end on Friday and I'll leave to Paris on Saturday. Time flew pretty fast, which is funny, considering there's not much to do here in the winter... Being such a touristic town, almost everything closes when it's not high season. I swear I think "You should see Amboise in the Summer!" is said at least once in any conversation I try to engage with an Amboisien.


All things considered, though, I have to say it was a pretty great experience. I made some great friends, had a I good time and I do believe that my French improved a lot! In the begginning, I was kinda worried there wouldn't be anything to do and that staying here would be awfully boring. I mean, things here close on Sunday and Monday, there are no clubs, almost no shops and one tiny cinema. But you know what? I'll miss Amboise. I'll miss my long walks to and from the centre-ville, the cute, old houses that creep me out at night, the friendly people in all the cafés...

Check out the creepy face Sticker on the right... saw it when I was going back home.

People here really are very friendly, and I was also very lucky to get to know some extremely nice and cool people at my school. I'm pretty sure we were the biggest agitation to happen in Amboise during the winter. Like I mentioned before, there aren't many places to go, but we figure it out! Like yesterday, we went to Le Shaker, a bar on the other side of the river. The owners and bartenders are very sympa and they have amazing and inumerous drinks, alcoholic and non. 

Today I decided to stay in, study a bit, watch some episodes of Pretty Little Liars and relax. I didn't even go out for lunch and ended up making a Spinach and Cheese Risotto that turned out delicious! I had to admit I was pretty proud of finally doing something that tasted good and didn't have suger involved (what can I say, I just love baking!). 

Tomorrow I don't have classes after lunch, so I might go to Tours or Orleans. And Saturday, I'm off to Paris! I'll try to post some stuff from there, but I think it'll be pretty difficult, considering I won't have so much time to spend as I do here. And even with all the time I have, I hadn't posted in a while! This time, though, expect to be hearing from me sooner.

Enjoy the end of your lazy Sunday -I know I am- and good luck waking up tomorrow and dealing with Monday -I know I'll need it...

Lots of  Love,
