After being here for almost a month, i started to miss my friends from home. Its hard to meet French people my age especially when i am not taking classes. My first day in Grenoble i met another assistant and we have been hanging out and do things around Grenoble together. I was getting tired of not hanging out with people my age (don’t get me wrong i like hanging out with people that are older then me). So on Sunday (the 12th) I went to church and my way to church i saw one of my friends from Bethel and she was on her way to the same church. As soon as i enter the door, people can tell i was new. The church is pretty small compare to Woodland Hills. It was so great; the church band sings some of my favorite songs that i know in English in French. After church, couple of the young adults came over and talked to me, and that day i met so many people that i needed to write names down so i can remember everyone. They invited me to go eat lunch with them. You won’t believe where we went... ok you can stop guessing, we went to KFC. I couldn’t believe it, my friend from Bethel asked if they were a KFC when i was here 2 years ago and the answer was no. So we spend most of the afternoon together, they also invited me to join them on Saturdays for the young adult group.
On Tuesday i was invited to le FEU (Foyer Evangélique Universitaire) for a concert. I met more people there. The concert was great, oh yes i listen to Zhbruno
My friend from Bethel was there also
Saturday (18th), my friend Stephanie and i decided to do some tourist stuff. We took le petit train de Grenoble and learned more about Grenoble. It was a 45 minutes ride around town. Enjoy the pictures.
Also the same day i went to see a play with my host family. It was so funny and i couldn’t stop laughing. After the play we went out to eat to a Moroccan restaurant.... the food was great.
The following day after church we decided to hike the Bastille. When i was here in 2006, we took the boules up and hiked down. This time we hike up and down. I kept telling Stephanie that I couldn’t do it, she wouldn’t take no for an answer so I DID IT. Let me tell you it was hard. But when I got up there the view was amazing. Now we decided to hike to the Bastille twice a week.
Later

Salut Cass-
Je suis si fier de toi! Je me souviens bien quand nous etions en France et tu n'est sortie de la maison presque jamais!! Et t'as visité une eglise!!! Bon Travail.
Tu me manque beaucoup... et tu sais... Aujourd'hui est le premier de quelques années que France me manque aussi...
Bisous -Kris
Dis bonjour à ta famille d'acceuil pour moi!!
Cool pictures Cassie!! Thanks for calling me it was so good to talk to you. They said my sewing machine won't be ready for three weeks!! Oh well I have other things that I can do that will keep me busy. I am so so so glad that you found a cool church with people your age!! That's better than what I have:) I like our church but it is so far, I wish I could find something closer.
So have you figured out the wireless thing yet? Since your computer is only a few years older then my it should be similar in format. Up at the top of your screen on the menu you should have something that looks like a pie slice.
---If it is just an outline of a pie it means your wireless is turned off. click on it and turn it on.
---If it is gray bars on the pizza it means you have no signal-click on it and you should get a menu that pops down and shows you what networks are in your area. Find the one your host family is on. It might be locked so you will need to get the password from them.
If this doesn't help let me know. You can also click on your system preferences and click on network and that should give you more details.
if you want to go on chat this week sometime, I can leave my computer up and logged into chat, otherwise we can pick a time that works. I have nothing really going on this week. My screen name is dandelion2103- for ichat, and actually since I had to get a new hard drive I haven't downloaded skype to my computer yet but if you would prefer to use that let me know.
Well, hope your vacation is relaxing and that you get all your paperwork filled out and everything gets done so you can just enjoy France.
Love you!!
Kari
Kris,
Je sais, c'est different cette fois. Tu me manques beaucoup. Tu te souviens de l'eglise qu'on a visitée on 2006, c'est la meme et les jeunes sont très différent.
Tu me manque!
