Title: French Students
Post by: Rerun on July 22, 2007, 01:06:21 PM

I have two French 16 year old girls staying with me for a month.  They were hard pressed to find homes and since I have bunk beds in my guest room they asked if I could take two.  The sad part is these kids were told that these "families" chose them and now they want to know what I read about them that I would choose them to come stay with me.  WTF? 

They are busy during the week going to all the places that I would normally take my guests so now what do I do with them.  Luckly they are happy sun bathing in the back by the pool.  The pool is just one of those blow-up jobs that is about 14' across and 2 1/2 feet deep.  Oh well, they can get wet.

I'm afraid they will get too much sun.  They have been out there for over an hour.  I keep bringing them ice water etc.  I hope they are having fun.  I have The Beach Boys playing for them.

Maybe take them over to CityWalk at night and have dinner, or The Grove.   I used to love going to events at UCLA and shopping in Westwood when I was a teen, and the Rose Bowl Flea Market too.   Are they going to Catalina?  The Venice Beach promenade?  How about going to Vazquez Rocks to take pictures?

This is interesting, because I am now in the midst of coordinating a 15 day language stay for 18 students from Guadeloupe (French oversea department in the Caribbean).  I used to do this in my country, but this is the first time in my present British Virgin Islands.  I had a very hard time getting families.   Some people even signed up and then backed out.  They will be here from July 30 to August 14.  I have a very packed programme for them so that the most thing the families have to do most days is get them to a point in the morning and pick them up at night.  There is so much to see in the Virgin Islands, I know they are going to have a great time.  August is also the time of our kind of Carnival - August Festival - days of festivities.
Here is the programme I planned for them.
