Spring Breaks Starts Tomorrow!



































































Hi Everyone!
How are you? We just wanted to say hi, today was very nerve wracking for us; we had our big presentation for our sociology class. The teacher likes us and picked us to present first so we were a little unsure of what to expect but we think we did pretty well. We are just happy to be done and now only have one more day to go before spring break begins and then Mom, Dad and Jul come! We are sooo excited for that! We have gotten all of our midterms back and did pretty good, receiving all A’s and B’s! The weather is continuing to get nicer, it’s been sunny and pretty warm, some days we do not need our coats during the day. The flowers are starting to bloom especially the mimosa which is similar to forsythia back home. It is bright yellow and blooms all over the Riviera. Not much else is new; we leave Friday afternoon for Barcelona so we will be sure to keep you updated on that adventure! We did receive a wonderful surprise from Granny and Pop-Pop, a package full of goodies including candy, chips, soup and nail polish! Thank you so much Granny and Pop-Pop, we loved it and really appreciated it! We have been craving Doritos! Hope everything is going well at home, we miss you and love you! Talk to you soon!

Love you,
Em and Jen

** Here are some pictures from throughout our trip that we have taken. The first two pictures where taken in San Remo, we saw a store called "Juli" and automatically thought of you Julie!! The second picture is of a banana tree, we see lemon and orange trees everywhere but this was our first time seeing a banana tree! The third picture is of Jen in front of the fountains in Nice. The fourth picture is of Em in Italy next to a little truck. We saw these trucks driving eveywhere and couldn't believe how small they were! The next picture is from the train station in Antibes, it's graffiti that is in the stair-well that you take to get to the plateform on the otherside of the station. The sixth picture is of mimosa and was taken during a trip to Cannes. The seventh, eight and ninth pictures are also from Cannes. The next picture is of Jen overlooking the harbor and boats. The eight is a picture of a flower that Em took and the ninth is a picture of for Pop-Pop of a Coca Cola table! The final two pictures are from our beach here in Antibes. It is still so strange to look at the beach and see mountains of snow behind them!

    Have a great visit with the family--hopefully they don't get snowed in! I think they got 6 inches yesterday!

    Travel safe and enjoy!

  2. I'm loving all the flowers. Especially since our little snow storm earlier this week. Good to get it out of the way before your family is getting on the plane.
