Day 6

On Saturday it was time for an outing to a large amusement park outside of Metz called Wallygator.  At 10 AM the group of Swedish students and their French correspondents med at the park and we spent the whole day there until it was time to go back home for a few hours rest and dinner with the host families. The students had many attractions and rides to choose from and we enjoyed nice sunny weather apart from the last half hour or so of our visit when a torrential rain passed through the area.

At 7.30 PM we all met outside the big sports arena in down town Metz to watch the national final between the Metz women's handball team and Fleury. The game was sold out with more than 6000 fans on the stands. The game was close the entire match and Metz trailed Fleury up until the last 10 minutes when they soured into the lead and finally landed the national title in front of an extatic crowd.

After the game the students returned home with their respective correspondents to get packed and organized for the long trip home on Sunday.
