FROM FRENCH TOAST TO AZURE COASTS

Introductions

This blog is as much a way to document my time abroad as it is a place to dump all the random iPhone pictures I take.

I'm spending five weeks in Nice, France, for a program run through WashU called "France for the Pre-Med"--which seems suspiciously like a ploy to get Yale to pay me to go on a nice vacation (haha, so punny) but is actually more legit than the name would suggest. Every morning I shadow a neurology team at l'Hôpital Pasteur for a few hours, and in the afternoon I take a couple of French courses about medicine, illness, and society.

Weekends are the largest chunk of free time we have, so I'll hopefully be making a few excursions to Cannes or Monaco, and maybe even Paris and northern Italy. I'm also spending a week in London after the program--a convenient side effect of an unavoidable layover.

Lots of photos (and ideally some pretty ones) will follow! I'm hoping to update pretty regularly since I'm planning to take a bunch of pictures. Someone even suggested I do a videoblog--that might be fun, so we'll see...
