My Address in Angers

Anyone can write me here at Angers. Every day I check my box at the residence hall:

Virginia Sand
Résidence Universitaire Lakanal
25, rue Lamarck
49045 ANGERS CEDEX'
FRANCE

In addition, I have mentioned my e-mail address in a previous post:

virginia.sand@etud.univ-angers.fr

MORE TRIVIA: As I mentioned in the previous post, there is no textile industry in France. Therefore, all the fabrics sold here are imported. I had originally thought that I would purchase some French-made fabric so that I could sew with it at home, but all the fabrics here are imported from other countries including from the U.S.

Sandwiches are very popular items on the menus of cafés, boulangeries, and pâtisseries here. There are sandwich shops all over Angers. Sooner or later I am going to have to try a sandwich here. Up to now, I've been preparing all of my own meals at the residence hall. There are also some "crêperies" throughout Angers which specialize in crêpes. Sooner or later I would also like to taste some crêpes at a crêperie.

All for now. Continue to follow my blog since I will continue to update it. Drop me an e-mail message or a letter or post card in the mail as I would love to hear from everyone back home.
