Pepper Spray Is Illegal In France?

Bonjour! 

I have been here for about five days are things are going swimmingly! (Minus the fact I am having a little trouble adjusting to the time change!) I took a couple pictures so you can get an idea of what my room looks like! 

     It is very small so there isn't much to show! : ) Yesterday (Thursday) We explored town a bit more and found a less expensive grocery store, which took us 2 hours to find. I successfully asked for directions! Although, I didn't really catch what the directions were when they told me.. We would reconvene outside and I would say, "Well I heard turn right." And my friend would say, "Well, I heard turn left." So we had an interesting time finding that but we finally made it! We spend most of our day wandering around Aix. 
      Before I arrived in Aix, I signed up for a "Buddy Program" in which they place you with a boy or girl who lives in Marseille and they can show you around and help you get settled. Well Thursday night, Karlee and I had dinner with Andréa, my "buddy", and her friend Michelle. We ate at a local Chinese restaurant in town and we all hit it off great! We had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing them more! 

     Remember when I said I was having a hard time adjusting to the time? Well, Friday we had to meet at 9:30 to go find out the status of our placement tests. I overslept and woke up at 9:33! 
     After finding out the status of our classes and placement tests we spend the rest of the day exploring and wandering around Aix, doing our best to try and get our bearings in this new city! 
     I tried 2 different kinds of quiche today. My second piece of quiche was spinach & salmon. It was delicious! The pastries that are in cafés here look absolutely HEAVENLY. There is no other way to put it. They are picture perfect, they almost look fake. I will try to take a picture one day so I can let you take a peek. : )

I am trying to get pictures on here soon!
