Today was our first day of classes. We left the monastery around 8:45 to go to Albi, where we had French class at Gerry's house. (Gerry is one of our professors.) Albi is about 30-40 minutes away and is basically the equivalent of Altoona. Sandra, our French teacher, knows very little English, but it is much less of a roadblock than you might expect it to be. It makes us want to work that much harder on our lessons.
After class, we headed across the street to the University of Albi, where we met some English-speaking university students and had lunch. They took us on a tour of the university and then Gerry took us on a walking tour of Albi. Albi is a beautiful city.
It was such a pretty day, the sky was a gorgeous blue.
The cathedral in Albi, strikingly massive. It is just as pretty inside with elaborate designs and architecture.
A city skyline that is nothing like Pittsburgh...
And the bridges back home are all steel and metal...not so much here.
