First day in Cannes!

This one will be short and sweet. We arrived in Cannes this morning after a train ride as long and uncomfortable as any plane that I've ever been on. With a little bit of effort, we made it to the College by bus (the bus station names do not correspond to anything nearby) and found out we were the first ones here. After dropping our stuff in our rooms, we caught up with our trip leader/French professor Chuck Villette, who asked us all about our trip. He brought us down to the little campus coffee shop and treated us to some Cokes while we talked about our adventures. We moved on from talking about the trip to the meaning life, the universe, and everything. In the warm sunshine of Cannes, time flew by. It has been really very hot, even now at night, especially compared to the mild Minnesota-like weather we were experiencing up north in Normandy. We didn't do a whole lot today, admittedly. It took a long time for the other students to get here, so we just took our time unpacking. When the group arrived, we went into town to pick up a few things like beach towels and such. Hayley decided to take the least expensive one there, with a picture of some WWE wrestler on the front, much to the amusement of everyone else in our group. We came back for a dinner at our school, which was actually quite good. It was like a breaded ham and cheese yummy thing. We took a quite tour of the campus before calling it a night. I will admit that I didn't take any pictures today, but I promise I will have some for my next post. The campus is really pretty, with palm trees everywhere. Hopefully tomorrow we will have time to relax on the beach, which is visible from my window, more or less. More deets later.
