Last night, we enjoyed a wonderful picnic sur la plage and watched the fireworks set off for Bastille Day! Today, the group got together for a nice day of free time in the city, and my family allowed my roommate and I to invite some other students over to enjoy some enchiladas, tortillas, and homemade guacamole!

Saturday was also one of the students’ birthdays, so after our day of shopping and beach-going in Cannes, we gathered for a celebratory birthday ...
