bunk beds, sweat, and bread

i dont have much time to update. and the keyboards here are different. all of us are at the school right now hunting and pecking out emails back home. a few things: there are bunk beds in the rooms, no air conditioning to speak of, and most of the proffered food has been baguettes, toast and biscuits. its truly an old city here, there are rules against changing the fronts of the buildings ... so a very modern clothing store like H&M still has a very gothic face. i woke up early this morning to explore and found a broken down carousel, a fountain with a statue covered in a mcdonalds advertisement ... very surreal. i also met some very friendly frenchmen. no other comment on that right now. i will take my laptop to a caffe soon and will write more later...
