New York New York

Bonjour les petits gars,

Demain matin je pars pour new york city. Je passerai deux jours et demi avec les étudiants d'échanges et ensuite je passerai 5 jours et demi avec tata Hélène (Elle adore son surnom!).

Avec les étudiants d'échanges on a vraiment un horaire chargé, c'est du non stop et ça semble vraiment sympa. Et puis après avec Hélène, je ne sais pas trop ce qu'on va faire, ce qu'elle a de prévu mais ça va me faire du bien d'avoir une pause d'école! Je l'aurai eu ma semaine de Toussaint après tout!

Je pense bien à vous et à la semaine prochaine pour d'autres aventures américanisées (hum)
