Un discoteque!
So my last night in Tours ended up being really fun; pretty much everyone from sweet briar went out so i got to see a bunch of friends and have a good time. I started out in a group of about 9 girls; we went to Place Plume, of course, and were surprised to find that there was actually a lot of people there, despite the fact that it was a wednesday night. We just sat and talked and had some pretty, girly drinks; just hanging out and having a good time bar hopping. Eventually we split off, as some of us wanted to go dancing; while others went to another bar. I went with three other girls to try and find a fun discotheque just to dance and have fun, which we finally did at around one in the morning; our first try ended up being a bust; too sketchy for us. the place we did find was this cool little discotque essentially underground; the inside was old and really cool looking, almost like an old church. apparently the discoteque didnt actually get busy until 2am, when all the bars close, so when we got there we ended up being the only ones there, which was perfect for us as we just got to do silly; girly dances, which the dj/bartender encouraged by playing bouncy american pop music from the 70s or 80s. We had a really good time, it was like a scene out of a chick flick-just a bunch of girls singing along to silly pop songs and dancing the night away together :). so yeah, that was my last night in Tours-i will remember it fondly. This morning i had to say goodbye to my host mom and everything-she was so nice, and repeatedly said we could always come back to visit and stay in Tours for the weekend if we wanted. I also finally got a picture of my host family, which i will sned out in my next batch of photos;they're pretty much adorable. But anyways, we board the bus for Paris in an hour or so, so i'm off to meet up with friends and get all ready to go! I hope my host family is nice!

Brittany,
The dancing the night away sounds like great fun and from what(little) I know of the 17th Arrondissment, that should be an interesting area. The new hot foody districts are the 19th and 20th according to the latest Gourmet-those were the neighborhoods of Edith Piaf lore. Non, c'est non plus Piaf! :) But, I also seem to recall that the arrondissments are not necessarily in order.
All for now, more later.
Love,
Aunt Sandy
