Bonjour again from France-- no, I didn't die from bad McDonalds, get ran over by a train, or get lost so bad that I couldn't even find the internet. I'm sure had a great idea for a post a while ago, but like most of my great idea that practically write themselves in my sleep, standing in the shower, or sitting on the tram, they depart as fast as they arrive.
After staying in a nice hotel our first night in Montpellier, we went to the airport to get picked up by our program guides, where we met with various people from our program, English speakers from all over the states (as well as one from Australia) who had come to learn French, but for the time being had come to relieve us from having to be alone and speak nothing but French for three weeks.
In between meeting new people, catching up on sleep, and getting shuffled around between dorms-cafeteria-campus at way-too-early hours of the morning, we were able to go on a few excursions around the "way too pretty to be real" south of France. I hardly remember any of the names of the places we visited, but the pictures speak for themselves (captions help too.)

| Nimes |

| Colosseum in Nimes, People used to kill each other here. |
 |
| Le Pont du Gard. There is a river underneath that we swam in. |
 |
| One of the best pizzas I have ever had. |
Other things we did besides stare at massive buildings built by nothing but manpower and eat delicious food include; going to the beach and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, riding the tram to far ends of Montpellier to go shopping at stores the size of Rhode Island (Ikea), as well as enjoying (probably too much) the night life here...
(If you haven't guessed yet, "..." means stay tuned for my next post!)
