Next day we went for a walk through the city center and we visited one of the museums of Nancy. I ended up buying a year culture pass for students form Nancy (the woman behind the counter somehow still believed I was studying in Nancy although I clearly did not speak French) because this was the same price as the entrance fee. So now I have one more reason to go back.
After we had some lunch and we went to drink tea at the house of a friend of Sophie and I learned to make apple crumble (I'm so proud!).
In the late afternoon we went to the covered market and we found a place that sells bubble tea. Which was great, because when we were in Rotterdam we spent ages looking for one but we never found it.
Later in the evening we went to a French pub to watch the rugby game (which I don't understand at all). I met many nice French people, they have a great student life there in Nancy.
For Sunday, Sophie borrowed a car from a friend so me, her and two of her friends went on a road trip to Toul. The only problem was that Toul turned out to me the tiniest town on earth. Besides that it was a national holiday in France so even the 3 things that were there were closed. after walking around aimlessly for a while we decided it was better to go to Metz. It was a good choice. We had a drink in a cafe and after walked around and found a really nice museum. One of the galleries was pitch black. You were given a flashlight before you entered and you had to wind it up to use it to see the art. I lost everyone in the darkness, but I loved it. Such a great concept.
After the museum we tried to find the gardens of Metz (Sophie drove on the cycling path for part of the way and only noticed at the end of the road), but no such luck. All we found was lots of construction that was going on. So we drove back to the train station (which was also blocked by construction work) so I could take the train back from there.
It was an absolutely great weekend and I hope to do it again soon.
XOXO
