Foreign exchange student

We are having a foreign exchange student from France stay with us for three weeks in July. When Clueless was in France, she visited places like Versailles and the Eiffel Tower, so we thought we should take the young man to one of the important cultural places in our neck of the woods, the Spam Museum.

Well, maybe we'll visit there, but I suppose I should come up with some better cultural places than that.

We never did go to the Spam museum, but we did drive 4 hours up to Duluth. We also took him to downtown Minneapolis.

sounds like fun... I would have opted for the Spam museum over Duluth but, then again... I don't know much about it... and I know a little about spam, as unfortunate as that may be.

We did take him out to eat to several different restaurants, as well. He never complained about food, but I imagine there were a number of things that weren't as good as his food at home.
He had smores for the first time in his life.

Well now he's gonna go home and try to get his friends to try it! They'll be so confused... Also, give him PB&J. I hear they think PB&J is weird =P
