Hello from the South of France everyone!! 

This last week has been pretty great. I had another party for a French girl who is heading off to Argentina, went to a music festival with my host sister and then the next day caught a plane from Paris to my host grand-parents house. Now I am slumming it in 30 degree weather in the South of France in Hyeres. (don't be too jealous ;) )

They are so welcoming and lovely, and I have 2 host cousins here as well, one is an adorable little 4 year old Lea and after just 4/5 days together she is like my little sister. The house is amazing, it is like what you see in a french storybook. We have a pool that overlooks a tree covered mountain and we are swimming every morning and night. My host parents will be here in 2 weeks and we will start going out on their new boat exploring, and wakeboarding! 

I really am living the life at the moment. And in August I get to go visit a French girl who lived with my family back in 2012 who I was so close with, and this time we will be speaking a different language together which is so weird to think about! I am really looking forward to that.

I think that's all for me to report at the moment, I hope the australian "cold" isn't too bad for you all. And congratulations on the changeover, president viki you did a great job and best wishes to JayMac.

Until next time

Rachel
