Mon jour en francais

Today started off with great coffee and great conversation. That was pleasantly followed by une classe en français parce que Polly et Gene vont en France pour un marriage! I was able to brush up a bit, seeing as I'm moving to a French speaking country soon, and enjoy listening t a beautiful French accent.
We then went on a short bike ride by the river (aka Town Lake) and had a picnic in the grass. Austin has a great feeling of a big city yet you can escape so easily and find somewhere quiet and green and take some time away. We drove by the capital building, which is beautiful, and I was able to see the round rock, after which the town was named. Not only was the day relaxing but informational as well.
This evening I went back to Zilker park, where I was yesterday for a bit, and played a round of disc golf with the bartenders from Shady Grove I met last night. I'm completely horrible at it but I had a great time. Dinner this evening was amazing and I feel so welcome here. I'm so thankful that I (and my mother) have so many wonderful friends that will open their doors to me at a minutes notice and show me around their beautiful home towns. Thank you again to everyone- you've made my trip worth taking. MERCI A TOUS!
