More Christmas fun!

Well it is finally December and therefore not long left before I go home for Christmas. Classes are finishing and focus is turning to studying and revising for exams instead of being in classes learning new things. Although most of my exams are after Christmas, I am trying to do some studying before I come home so that I have more time to spend with family and friends when I am back. However, as I mentioned in my last blog post, I can’t sit and study all the time!

On Saturday we got on the train and headed for Annecy. It is a lovely town about an hour and 45 minutes away from Grenoble. When we got up and got the tram on the way to the train station it was snowing - definitely a good way to start a festive day! We visited the Christmas market in Annecy and had a walk around the town whilst trying to keep warm! This was a failed attempt as by the time I got back to my room, I could no longer feel my feet and so got into bed in an attempt to warm up! That evening we headed to Stade des Alpes to see Grenoble RFC take on Toulouse. I have to say that the French could teach the Scottish a thing or two about the atmosphere at a rugby match – it was amazing! There were free flags put next to the seats and so there was a sea of red supporters for Grenoble! It was a surprising but great result seeing Grenoble win 22-15!

Yesterday we headed into the Christmas market in Grenoble again to buy Christmas trees! It is only tiny, but still my attempt to make my room festive!
