UNC Montpellier Study Abroad group celebrating the Holidays together :)

My ORIGINAL Christmas Break Plan:
Rock-N-Roll Santa from OHIO in Montpellier
Student Demonstration complete with sit-ins and chants at the mall
I was going to head fromToulouse to Tours , France and bike through the Loire Valley to see all of the Chateaux during Christmas time, but I couldn’t find my passport …SO I had to go back to Montpellier after Toulouse to look for it. After a few days of ripping my room apart, I made an appointment at the US Embassy in Paris to get a new one issued – I NEEDED it to go to Italy with my brothers and David. I hadn’t seen it since I left Cork , Ireland in November…
I was going to head from
MONTPELLIER CHRISTMAS TIME
Ariel’s host mother (above with Katrina) took us to the beach for a picnic...
to La Grande Motte (above with Ariel), a famous French resort and port, known for its funky architecture...
and to Aigues-Mortes (above) which is 1 of 3 completely fortified cities and was the only Mediterranean port during the Middle Ages.
Beautiful French Candy store chain in Aigues-Mortes "La Cure Gourmande" = cured from eating a lot! ;)
That week, Clément and I started dating...
We enjoyed rollerblading around town (under Montpellier's Arc de Triomphe)

We all went Ice Skating a lot...
