Wine Tasting, and lots of other things

So I went to a wine tasting on Friday night and that was a lot of fun. Of course I did not know anything about wine so I just pointed to a bottle and said I want some of that, but oh well I tried. It's cool because you pay three euro and you get a glass to keep and 3 tickets to try 3 different wines. It's cool. It was really crowded but it's fun to be in a crowd of people that don't speak your language. The wine was good too. I tried a red, a rose, and a white. the rose was my favorite but that's always true for me. I talked to a French guy there and had a long conversation that made me much more confident in my French abilities because he said I spoke very good french for being in France for only 3 days and we understood each other very well. It was nice. He was black and they say "black" in American which just seemed weird to me but oh well. He asked about Obama and he thought it was cool that I supported Obama and he loved that Obama could be the first black American president. Then we came home and crashed. Scott, Jade, and I have become very good friends and it's really nice to have people that I get along with so well here. Jade is really awesome and I am glad that she is my roommate. Then on Saturday I spent the whole day doing nothing being homesick for American food with Renee who is also really cool and then had to walk around for 2 hours at 8pm doing a tour of the Medieval district of Montpellier. Tiring and hard to listen to. Today we went to Nimes and Pont du Gard which are Roman ruin places. Nimes is a town with an amphitheater and other Roman ruins within the town. We sat on the top of the amphitheater ( a Colosseum basically) and I walked on the top wall just looking over the village which gave Scott a heartattack. It was just so beautiful. The Pont du Gard was this amazing bridge/aqueduct that was massive and makes you wonder how they built it back then. It was a really hot day but everything was beautiful because the sky was a really clear blue. We got back to the dorm at 8pm or so and then Scott, Jade, and I had some champagne and then we all sat outside and drank. Jade and I had a drinking bonding experience and I think things are going to go really well with us living together. We will have a German roommate as well which will be interesting and I think really fun. We will see. Well I have class tomorrow so I have to go to bed and do homework/take a shower. So goodnight!
