My host family.
After having spent three months looking for my host family, I finally found the perfect family for me. Host mom and dad (Elisa and Vincent) are french (as me!), they lived ten years in England and now they are in California for five years. So children are completely english / american and they know how to speak french. The little one is Hadrien 5 years old and so cute. The second one is Alice 9 years old and really malicious. Stanislas is 12 years old and already a typical teenager. Clara 15 years old seems to be really friendly. I can't wait to meet them and time is so long and short at the same time.
My departure date : August 12th 2013
READY TO GO ? More than ever.
Where do they live ?
Palo Alto, a city in the heart of Silicon Valley located in the San Francisco bay area !
Located 35 miles south of San Francisco and 14 miles north of San Jose, Palo Alto is also known to be the "Birthplace of the Silicon Valley" where facebook, HP, google were developed. This city is also close to the Stanford University campus which is one of the most famous university of the United States and by the way this is where I will take some of my classes !
Climate in the San Francisco bay area :
San Francisco is famous for his fog especially in July and August. Besides Mark Twain said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco". But fortunately climate is really different in Palo Alto and weather seems to be sunny all of the year =)
