So, this was the very first year that I had to celebrate Passover sans both family and the MHC Eliot house which was a bit of a culinary adventure, but it actually worked out much better than I had been expecting (especially since things like matzoh meal and schick's cakes don't exist over here, where the Jewish population is approximately 12). My saving grace was a. quinoa (it's technically not a grain!) and b. the fact that instead of corn syrup, everything has sugar.
Quinoa stir-fry, anyone?
Microwave-Passover-Brownies! God, I'm good!
Matzoh lasagna! It was super good! (Proof: I was still eating it two days after passover ended)On April 3rd, the MHC program took a day trip to Uzès, a city about an hour out of Montpellier. It's a small city, but it has a lot of history, and is to this day, le Premier Duchy de France!
The castle of the duke (yes, he's still alive (and no, he's not single... Damnit!))
STAIRWAY OF DOOM. Seriously, it was like climbing a ladder, each step was about 6 inches at the widest point. And it was three looong flights!
... But the view was worth the climb.
Hello, pretty ladies!
The lovely little chapel.
The second part of our trip was to the Haribo Candy Museum. That's a lotta candy.
Group photo! :)In other news, I officially have a return ticket to the US of A on July 12th! Also, after a few weeks of lots of school work, I'm on vacation! (Yes, again).
Now, if you'll kindly go to part II...
