Last Night in Vichy

Wow this month has passed by so quickly...and it's such a shame that it has to end.  Tonight marks my last full day in Vichy, so I'm going to take the time to review my experience here.  CAVILAM is a great program taught by charismatic and energetic teachers.  Aside from being immersed in French language, you also meet so many other students from across the world since the school tries to arrange classes with a good mix of nationalities (unfortunately English is so prevalent that sometimes it's hard to force a language barrier that only permits French).  Vichy is probably the perfect town for program: it's small enough that the locals know that there are students about but large enough so that there are a variety of shops to visit and practice your French.  I'll definitely miss the school and everyone I've met here.  Best wishes to the CAVILAM alumni!

Morning class with Celine.

Hubert! Awesome teacher. "But I am French, of course I don't speak English."

Atelier class.  Miss everyone already.
View from atop the CAVILAM tower.  Great view of Vichy.


All the Americans -Kasey who went on this trip.  I'm not looking at my own camera.  How embarrassing.
