Thanksgiving and Soccer

So! What does one do for Thanksgiving in France? Well, nothing really...it's kind of an American holiday. I had planned to cry into a ham sandwich all night, but fortunately my super awesome roommate invited me to the Notre Dame Thanksgiving (there are about 20 of them here from that university, so their adviser throws a feast every year). That was fun; only a couple other non-Notre Dame students got to go, so I felt really fortunate.

The next day, a bunch of us went to a professional soccer game! It was rainy and cold the whole time, blah. And we almost won, but the other team scored a goal at the very last second, boo :( Overall, it was amazingly fun and I'm sad that I didn't go sooner. But! We're planning on going to the next home game on December 19th, which is our last night all together here. That'll be fun. Here are some pictures!

They're a league 2 team, which is like minor league baseball, but they still have an insane fan base

Yesterday I went to Paris. I'll talk about that later.
