Dijon

Our group of students is staying in Dijon, France. It's beautiful here and our commute to school is amazing. We get on a bus and drive through town into the center of the city and along the way we pass historic churches and theaters and a palace.

This building is our school. They built around the old building front so it's actually inside of the school now!

I'm taking operations management with Lance Matheson. He's a really fun teacher and it seems like he has a lot of life stories to tell so I'm probably going to try to get him to tell us some.

Across from the school there's a really good (and really cheap) bakery where I got breakfast and lunch today.

All the bakeries (boulangeries) here are so good. The french really know their bread.

After class, Taylor, Brent, and I went to find gelati and the post office. Somehow we managed to get lost on the way to the post office but sometimes that's better in a new city. So we got to explore more of Dijon and see the little shops and markets that we hadn't gotten a chance to see yet. We did finally find it though and then we found gelati. I got passionfruit. It was pretty good but I got some great gelati while we were in Nice over the weekend.

We tried to go to the farmers market but it was closed when we got there. I did get a chance to go to it between classes and I saw some really neat stuff. I saw a man scaling fish right in front of the customers and the poultry still had heads and feet and sometimes feathers attached. They had huge cheese wheels and tons of salted fish and fresh vegetables. Some of the other vendors were selling clothes and sunglasses and bags and shoes. There was one dress I found that was gorgeous but by them time I went back to buy it, the vendor had packed up and left.
