The last Week in Pont Aven has been bittersweet, we are all super excited to go spend our last week in the mountains, but we are sad that the time has come to leave.  This week has been full of activities, like on Tuesday, we had our final Breton dance class.  This time we were surprised with a fantastic live Breton band, complete with accordions and chanters and lots of weird instruments.  For me its the little things I will miss, grabbing a sandwich at Café Au Centre or a pizza from the Tuesday market.  Predictable that most of my favorite things about this place have to to with food.  Wednesday we had our last French class with Carine, shout out to her for teaching us so much in so little time!  Thursday was a work day to finish our final history projects, the group chose to do everything from write a paper on renewable energy in Brittany (Dalton), to make a handmade book of paintings and descriptions of Celtic Paganism (Ben), to a breakdown of Breton legends by Izzy.  We worked super hard, but Friday, when we all got together and went over our final products, it was really cool to see the stuff we had all done, and really worth it.  Friday was also our art critique day, where we all looked at the body of work each of us had created on the trip.  Super cool to see everyones work from the beginning to now, everyone has developed such distinctive styles.  On to the present; Saturday, AKA packing day.  We all have spent the day packing up our stuff and giving gifts to our host parents and awkwardly trying to express our gratitude for having us, in french!  Tonight we have our final art show/good bye party at Sue's house, everyone we know from Pont Aven will be there, and we are heading out now to go set up the show.  It has been a crazy awesome nine weeks, and we will all remember this place forever.
