One Week Down. . .

Adam has finished his first week of classes. He did some amazing work and made some delicious breads all the while using formulas that were written in French.


Here is the buffet presentation (for the entire class) of this weeks work.



And this is the city where Adam currently resides. Looks like a nice place, eh? Too bad Adam's not the one blogging, then you'd have a general idea what these buildings are and know what kind of breads and other delicacies are featured. It's the best I can do though to keep everyone who's interested in Adam's adventure informed.

Changes

As most of you know, Adam is now officially in Yssingeaux, France. Today celebrates his one week anniversary. Only 7.5 more to go.
From what I've been told, he think his two roommates are "pretty chill" and he has some fun trips planned for the upcoming long weekends.
Adam lives about a 30 minute walk from campus. Class starts every morning at 5:50 am. He attends class until 1:00 pm. The school provides the students with breakfast and lunch. In case you were wondering, the "lunch ladies" are very nice.
Adam is currently in a breads class with Chef Bacon, who just so happens to be the same age as Adam. Perhaps a friendship is in the works??

This is Adam's palace for the next 52 days (who's counting?). Notice how he has a sink all to himself? He shares a shower and toilet room with his roommates, but for some reason, has his own sink. Odd, but convenient. I guess.


Finally, A little pictorial treat, for everyone who isn't on Facebook or Instagram. Adam, in a tall hat.


Moving back to the changes taking place in America.
I finally purchased a new shower curtain. It finally became a necessity when the old shower curtain no longer kept the water in the shower. I find this bit of news blog worthy, only because I have been using the old shower curtain since 2005 when I was in college. It was a bitter-sweet day.
