United States, Virginia - Day 9

DAY 9

Today I went to church for the first time in the United States! And no matter how much you think it's boring, well here it's not. It's quite different from France, first the mass happened in a casual building, I mean that it wasn't in these old gothic churches that we are used to see in France. And in fact, the ceremony was funny, because there was a screen with lyrics on it and we were all singing praying songs with a band... It was like a karaoke prayer! They really made the mass alive and I found that it was interesting!

On the afternoon we did a picnic for the Bastille Day (again) at the Academie Francaise presidente's house and it was really cool! We were with our group of correspondents/hosts so we had fun! When the picnic started, we were so hungry that we just swallowed the first thing that we saw and it happened that it was the dessert.. So we had several desserts and then we ate the actual meal (like the salty part of it). It was fun, even if the American guests have probably thought that French people are really weird!
