For our final weekend day trip, the staff planned a "surprise" trip to San Remo, Italy. The main surprise of going to Italy wasn't much of a surprise because we all happened to find out about the trip before hand; however, we were greeted with another surprise when we arrived in Italy- spending the day at a private beach club! The luxury of having beach chairs was definitely one of my highlights for the day. After settling at the beach, we broke off into separate groups and headed into town for lunch. I had a delicious procioutto pizza at an Italien restaurant for only 6 euros! Once we finished lunch, we walked around the city for a while. I was surprised because it seemed like the majority of the stores were closed. It was midday Saturday, so that made no sense to me. Eventually we made our way back down to the beach, and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the water.
Visiting San Remo, Italy assured me that I had become very adjusted to French. Even when I was ordering food at the restaurant, I would naturally say "bonjour" rather than just "hello" and then continue to order my meal in french. I was surprised how hard it can be to switch between languages. Of course, this was Italy so their custom language is Italian which made speaking all the more challenging. However, I had not realized how comfortable I had become with french until I was exposed to a language I knew nothing about.
