J'ai gagné du vin!

So, I did another race today, and I came in third! Which was not particularly difficult, since I'm pretty sure there were only 3 (possibly 4?) people in my age group. But guess what I won! Hint: only in France...


Yes, the prize was a bottle of white wine! My 13-year-old host-brother also won a bottle of wine. Oh, France! I also got this rose:


Classy, classy, huh?

Also, it was difficult to understand the announcer when I was up on the little stage getting my wine because he was speaking into a microphone right next to me (and it was in French of course), but I'm pretty sure he said I looked like an American because I was wearing a backpack with a reusable water bottle in the side pocket.

À bientôt!

  1. Hahahaha soooo American. And you've been living there for months now! But seriously why do they have such cool prizes for races in France? I feel like Americans are too preoccupied with medals :P
