It is in constant construction turmoil! After the francophone fair, I figured thing would quiet down for a bit before they started reassembling for the Christmas fair but no such break occurred. Now, city workers are uniting to set up fake log cabins and pin fake sheets (literally) of snow to various booths. As you can see, someone agrees with me that the lac leman looks like a scene from lord of the rings and ordered a hobbit house complete with fake fungus! 
My last dinner with the host family! I will definitely miss the eccentric parties and the crazy stories about english horse jumping. As a parting gift, I gave them each a super warm Chaos hat and they told me that I HAD to stop by again for dinner.
Well I can't believe it has been seven weeks already! At this point, I am moving to a new apartment that is closer to the train station, thus easier during race season. At this point, I'm pretty efficient at bagging up... I clocked two hours total! We'll have to see what my final time is in March (hopefully with a few medals!).
My parents back home put on my new Thule rack! It's a good thing I have short skis because the box is as mini as my car. Too bad I can't appreciate it too much until march, but I will be sure to make a trip with my 177 blizzards when I get back!
