Tour du Monde

Since I promised to post a picture of Mme Scott's purple hair, here she is with several of my professors. Mme Hammouda (Maghreb), Maite (Conversation), and Mme Cros (Contemporary France). I got this picture from the Vanderbilt in France blog, which I've been meaning to link because people reading this who are considering going to V-i-F might want to check it out. There are pictures from a few of our soirées in the center on there as well as headshots of everyone in the program.
Last night, we had a Tour du Monde (around the world) party, where each auberge was a country that served its native food and beverages, and the party moved from one apartment to another throughout the night. Elyse and I, and our other roommate, Kevin (Renaud was in Marseille for a motocross show), chose France, so we had bread and cheese, cookies, and an assortment of wine and champagne. Other countries represented were Mexico, Jamaica, Ireland, USA, and Russia.
There's Elyse setting up in our common room. We both wore black and she's sporting a beret. One girl's parents were here this weekend, and they came along for a few countries too. We don't do that many things with the entire group--the sorority girls and frat guy tend to hang out with each other, and the non-Greek people tend to hang out with each other, even though everyone gets along pretty well--so it was fun for us to all do something together. I didn't take any pictures, but lots of people did, so maybe I'll post a few later. Someone told Maite about the party on Friday, and she absolutely loved the idea. She told us to send her pictures so that she could put them on the blog, so you might even be able to see a few there...
