Dear Will,


As you know my dream was to visit New York. Thanks to you I was able to realized this dream. 
I took a lot of photo, and I will put them on my blog for you (I send you one of these photo by post with my letter. You can see me on the giant screen on the left. Man in white).
 I would like to know if you are interested in a trip in my country this summer (July if you can). I live in Grenoble which is close to mountains and Avignon which is nearby to the sea. It's one of France's particularity because there are differents spaces. No, there is not only Paris in France even if it's a magical city like New York, we can't reduce France to Paris. I promise you that I won't prepare snails and frogs! Only cheese, wine and bread! I like your stereotypes! The fun is over! I hope you'll be agree for come. Give me your answer as soon as it's possible.


 Your friend, Théo.

Dad and his son.

Sport is an inexhaustible source of incredible stories:I enjoy of this post for describe and explain a story between a dad and his son. The son is an adult, but has got a problem: he has celebral pasly. His dream was very simple for us: He wanted to run! But his father wanted to realized this dream. That's why he trained during some years. What training? Run, Swim and ride bike.You understood what sport is it: Triathlon!

When he was ready, he ran with his son hooked to him in his wheelchair. After their first race, the son declare to his father that when they ran he's felt like he was not handicapped. So, his dad continue to run every day with... a bag of cement in the wheelchair because his son was at school. They ran six ironman which is the most dificult race of triathlon. It consisting of a 2.4 mile (3.86 km) swim, a 112 mile (180.25 km) bike and a marathon (26.2 miles  42.195 km). This amazing history was on all the TV in the world. Beyond of the sport, it's an amazing love story!

This is the famous video, watched in all the world.

Shopping!


Hello!
I'm new in Grenoble too so it's difficult for me to choose a place to hang out. So, as many people I think you like to do shopping. I know only two places.

The first is "Victor Hugo" which is the Grenoble's downtown. All shops are in streets. There are pubs, restaurants, and sometimes cultural activities!
The second is "Grand'Place". It's the mall of Grenoble! It is near to "Pole Sud" (Icerink) and "Alpexpo" (Exhibition hall).

At the top, you can see the tramway's plan. Victor Hugo, and Grand'Place are in a ring. Victor Hugo is in the north of Grenoble. Line A and B stop at this station!
For Grand'Place it's only the line A in the south of Grenoble (Villeneuve).

 I prefer the first for some reasons:

-You are in the street, and the atmosphere is better. Even if it's too late, there are the christmas market during december (important for the next year!).

-To take the most of the sun!

-When you come out of shops, you can go to a pub for drink coffee, eat crêpe, or smoke ane cigaret!

Hoping you'll love it!


P.S:
I done a mistake: as said Thomas, I forgot the "Caserne de Bonne". For go to this mall, you must stop at Gustave Rivet or Foch-Ferrié (Line C on the tramway). It's a new mall built according to the principles of sustainable development. I tried this mall after see the message of Thomas and it's my favourite place for do shopping because it's a beautiful place. I done a new ring on the map whish show where is the mall.

Who am I?

Hi everybody !
My name is Théo, I will be twenty years old in two months. I come from to Tulette, a small village in the south of France (Next to Avignon). I'm in Grenoble since the begining of the year. I study history because I would like to become a history teacher. I live with my girlfriend.
My option is english. Why did I choose this language? Because I love traveling and in many countries most of people speak english. Moreover, I love the USA. I have been to New York City. It was a dream for me and I realized it  last summer (2010).

What else?( No, I'm not hired in Nespresso, and I'm not George Clooney)

I love sports, especially football, handball, and rugby. I played handball during 7years.

Cinema! Yes! Cinema is awesome. I like Stanley Kubrick's films ("Barry Lyndon"," 2001: A space Odyssey", "Full metal jacket"...), Sergio Leone's films ("Once upon a time in America" which is my favourite movie) or Scorcese's films (starring Robert Deniro who is my favourite actor)...

About music, I can listen to any music genre but I prefere rap.

See you!
