A Day in Genech

It's been a busy day seeing Genech, the town where I'm staying in northern France.



It is very small town -- there are only around 2,000 people who live here. I think I've seen more cows, horses, and chickens than people!





I've gotten to drive around see lots of the countryside, but I also went for a walk -- my very own Crocodile Mile.








Here are some photos from the street where I'm staying.





Some of you have asked what I'm eating. I've taken some pictures of a few of my favorite French foods. "Chocolate pot" is sort of like chocolate pudding -- and it is very yummy. Yogurt and orange juice are two things I like to eat at home, but I took pictures because I liked the packages which are in French.





I also really like Nutella, which is sort of like peanut butter but is made out of chocolate and hazlenuts. It's very tasty, especially on bread or bannanas.

Hey Kyle! It's Justin! I hope you are having a great trip and I know you're having a great time! I have been tracking your post and I just have one question: What kinds of buildings or architecture does France have in comparison to Raleigh (like cathedrals)?

Thanks a lot! Justin:)

Hi Justin,

I'm glad you're keeping up with my blog.

Many of the buildings here are very old. There is one house nearby that has "1882" written in tiles on its roof -- that was the year it was built.

I'll see some cathedrals in the next few days after I get to Belgium. I'll be sure to take some photos for you!

Dear Marina, Morgan, John, Connor, Tyler, Andrew, Scotty, and Ashley,

Thanks for all of your notes! I'm having a great time in France, but I miss all of you and the rest of my friends at Sycamore Creek.

It took me 12 hours to get to France from Raleigh, but I had to stop and change planes in Atlanta. It would be faster to go through a city further north such as New York City.

The food here is very good. I'll post some more photos.

Keep sending me questions and notes! It's great to hear from all of you.

Hi Kyle!
Great to see that you did a crocodile mile in France! We did ours on Friday inside because of the rain........ but it was AWESOME! I walked almost two miles how about you? Aren't miles measured differently in France?

Dear Ashley,

It was a lot of fun to meet the pilots. They were very nice to let me into the cockpit and see the front of the plane.

Dear Becca,

Yes, distance is measured differently here than it is in the U.S. Instead of miles, long distances are measured in kilometers.

I'm sorry to hear that it rained during the Crocodile Mile, but I'm glad everyone had fun anyway. Two miles is a very long way to run. Congratulations on such a great job!

Kyle
