We woke up early this morning to leave Collioure and go back to Sermaise. We left at about 8:00 and got home at 3:00. I think I slept one hour in the car. We had ham sandwiches when we got home, and then tapped into the wifi we've been missing. Then came dinner. We had grilled lamb and freshly picked green beans. Anne and Laure had made a pie for dessert, and it was delicious, though they thought it was just alright. I was very very satisfied. After that, Claire ...

We slept in today- windsurfing classes were over. Claire didn't feel like walking to the bakery, so we suffered through macaroons from the expensive chocolatier next door. I had a raspberry chocolate one and it was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. After that we cleaned the apartment until lunch time in preparation for leaving. For lunch we had shrimp, but not like what I'm used to. These were full on shrimp- from head to tail. It wasn't too weird though,...

We got up early for our last windsurfing class. Claire had gotten up an hour early and gotten breakfast ready again- she's a saint. I had a raisin pastry with sugar on top. Mmm mmm good.

Claire got up early again today so I woke up to a wonderful breakfast of pain au chocolat and hot chocolate. Then we went to windsurfing classes where things were much better than yesterday. We paddled around for the first hour, but when the wind picked up, we put on the sails and headed out of the bay. There were much fewer jellyfish today- I was more focused than scared this time. I got the hang of it, and was even in front of the pack half the time. I made it ...

Claire and I woke up and went to the bakery. I got a delicious apple pastry with sugar on top and Claire got pain au chocolat. After that, we left for windsurfing classes. There was hardly any wind today, so moving was kind of hard. Fabio (our instructor, and was he is iItalian) wanted to challenge ous, so he had us go out of the bay. Today was one of the scariest days of my life. We swam out to the buoy, and put up our sails. Then I heard one of the girls say "a...
