So:
Back from France now. As you may/may not have noticed, I was not in school today: this was due to a delay in our flight's departure as well as the fact that one of our suitcases never got on the plane, not to mention a lack of time to do Keck work.
So we had to fill out a couple forms, and our belongings are expected tomorrow (hopefully).
Other than that, time spent in France was a bit more of the same (excluding Friday). I ate at my grandma's 70th birthday celebration, ate some more for my new cousin's baptism (after the actual ceremony, of course). Did I mention how cute he was? Ate some more on the other days to celebrate some other events I can't remember as well, but nothing special besides that.
As for Friday, however, I went to the Futuroscope - a rather unique amusement park ~3 hours from our lodgings. If you've ever been to Sea World, it's kind of like the shows/movies they have there, except that they have only that, and all either relating to/showing off technology.
We saw about 5 IMAX movies over the course of the day, including a really nifty one that was only animations, as well as an exhibit where they used some odd contraption to allow us to affect the course of the program.
There was also a room with ~20 XBOXs to play and other random technological stuff.
Best part of the trip however: laughing at the wait queues!
The park had an obscene amount of barriers and queues for people to navigate through, but through some freak chance no one was at the park that day. So instead of waiting interminably in the actual lines, we simply went through all the barriers - though they were so convoluted at some exhibits that it would take 5 min to get through them anyway - they even had expected wait times for exhibits with no lines XD
