First Rotary weekend with the other exchangers.

14th and 15th of Febuary. At Lac Noir.
The snow weekend was amazing!! Jean, my host father, took me up, because he was there being a part of it. Also his son Vincent is part of Rotaract, and they were there too. So on saturday, we drove up tp the mountains, to a place called Lac Noir. We didnt really have much to do with the lake, just drove past. It was frozen, and looked really pretty. Anyway, so Jean told me that we were going to do a hike in the snow, and to bring really warm clothes, so i pretty much packed everything I owned. Didnt want to be cold!!! Gen, my host mother, lent me her warm jacket and some hiking boots, although I was worried about being cold while it was snowing on top of me!!!

We arrived at the house, which was like a backpackers accom, I met the other exchange students. Luke from the North of Tassie was there, and it was nice to catch up and see how he was doing. There also were two other aussies, and we had a chat, complaining about how much we missed the beach and tim tams and milo and fish and chips and stuff, and how different France was. But how we all loved it!!
There was a girl called Reyna, and she was from a country town called Bellinger or something, up the mountain a bit from Coffs habour. The other aussie was a boy from Sydney, called Alex. So a group of us exchangers were just innocently talking and playing cards when the window was suddenly attacked by snowballs!! which led to a full on attack at 1am in the morning, 20 exchange students on 3 rotaracts!!! It was really fun!! The next morning we got up at 7.30am to get ready for Raquettes (snow shoeing). We started right from the accom and walked for three hours, ending up on top of a hill looking down on this amazing valley covered in snow. I dont think much can compare. Totally different to anything Ive ever seen, even at Falls Creek, in Victoria. It was beautiful. Breath taking. And its sooo much fun!!! It was absolutly sublime weather, and everyone ended up too hot. It was such an amazing experience, I cant begin to convey how beautiful it was!! I am really loving France.
