StudyAbroad - Tahiti

Last weekend I had my second Home-stay of my time here in Tahiti. It was really nice because I stayed with a French family this time. The father's name is Phillippe, the mother's is Agnes and they have thee children. A girl and two boys. The girl is the oldest. Their names are: Maelle (10 yrs old), Killian (7 yrs old), and Yannis (5 yrs old). They are all really cute and everyone is nice. The parents can speak a little English and the children are all learning English in school.

I went with them on Saturday and since the day was a bit overcast we didn't do a whole lot. They did take me on another tour around the island and I was able to see a little more of Tahiti-iti. Lunch on Saturday was the only meal that we had outside of the house. Since I ended up spending the night until late on Sunday, I ended up eating dinner and all of the other meals on Sunday at their house. On Saturday while we were on Tahiti-iti we did get to go up to the view point, but it was so cloudy that we didn't see very much. We also went to a beach for a little while but then it got pretty cloudy so we left. Since they had a pool, I ended up swimming with Maelle in the pool at night. It was a lot of fun and I showed her how to shoot water out of my hands like I did as a child.

Sunday we were supposed to go out in the boat, but the motor was left up in the rain and so it wasn't working properly. So, we just spent the day at the house. For dinner before they took me back to the Foyer, we had hamburgers but the meat was still really rare. I thought I would give it a try and it didn't taste bad, but my stomach must not have liked it because on Monday I stayed in bed with a stomach ache. I am not used to eating semi-bloody meat. Other than that, I really enjoyed myself with the family and they really liked the bracelets that I gave them as gifts.
