Last Day of Classes at Lycée Saint Marc - Lyon by Andrew "Drew" MacDonald (Thursday, 6 June)

Today was our last day in Lyon, France, and it was a very good one. We started our day as normal, with classes from 8:00 AM to noon, the longest block of classes which we have had on the trip. As it is approaching the end of the school year for the students at Lycée Saint Marc, the classes were very fun. In my case, I passed a class period by doing karaoke with the people in the class, along with Wyatt Averett. After noon, our classes ended, and we were lucky to have the afternoon free to enjoy the city of Lyon. It was a great opportunity to pick up last minute souvenirs, see things we missed during the weeks (though we didn’t miss much), and spend some time with our correspondents and friends before the trip ended. 

Lastly, at 5:00 PM, we had our Pot de Depart, where we had our final meeting with all of our friends and teachers, and reflected on our amazing time in Lyon, France. 

We will meet early tomorrow at La Place Bellecour to return home, ending our amazing experience here in France.

Our Trip Home by Wyatt Hartford (Friday, 7 June)

It was unfortunately our last day in France, and time for the trip home. As a group, we all arrived at La Place Bellecour at 7:00 a.m. in order to take our bus to the airport. With heavy hearts to leave our exchange families, but excitement to see our own again, we said our final goodbyes to our friends in Lyon. Surprisingly, the bus ride to the airport was not as loud as one would expect. Usually, whenever a group of high school students get the opportunity to board a bus, they take it as their chance to goof off and laugh with each other, usually louder than the chaperones would like. This  bus ride however, was uncharacteristically quiet. It seemed as though all the students were spent from their two weeks in Lyon, and perhaps sad as they began to realize that their time in France  was coming to an end. As the bus drove on, we all began to point out the places we recognized, and the places we’d been, saying goodbye to them as we drove to the airport. We passed shops we’d al...

Wednesday at Lycée Saint Marc by Christopher Murphy (Wednesday, 29 May)

  1. Class with my exchange student Class was weird today because I did not have any. I came in at 8:00 this morning and played a video game called Brawl Stars. I am trying to become a better video game player than the French exchange students who play all of the time. Luckily my exchange student lives very close to the school. Only a three minute walk away. So he was able to take me to school and then go back home. 2. Illusions Museum The first thing that we did today was see the museum of illusions which is very close to our school Lycée de Saint Marc. We arrived a little early for the museum so we had some time to burn. We ended up walking around and we found something to eat at Pret à manger. It is a healthy snack shop that sells yogurt and pastries and some smoothies. After that we went to the museum. We were the first ones there as it opened at 10:00am and that is when we showed up. We walked around the museum for many hours looking at all of the illusions. There were many ...
