Les lapins

Will you all still love me when I'm fat?  The food here is wonderful.  The Carluers are wonderful cooks.  There are these bread roll things that I eat all the time.  It's just bad.  I'm not dancing as much either.  Uh oh.


Today was my day off, and I went to the city by myself for some shopping.  It was quite fun.  

I found yet another massive Catholic church.  

Then I found a little café where I had something.  Not quite sure what it was.  It was bland.  

 

Then I went to a crêperie and had one with chocolate and bananas.  It was too rich.  

             Apparently, you can find hippies anywhere, anytime.  

The French are a bit more liberal with their store mannequins than I had expected.  

These are the photos when I really had no idea where I was.  As long as I'm not lost in the dark, I'm pretty much ok.  Unfortunately, I don't have a working phone.  But other people do.

I finally got back to where I needed to be and had a second dessert.  Also, it took me a couple of days to be able to pronounce dessert in French.  The way I was saying it was the French word for desert.












While waiting for the bus, I saw about 4 bunnies.  Lapins.  It is really like Mary Poppins here.  

I really can't believe it's June.  My mom will be here in just a few weeks, and we'll be on our way to Paris.  And then home.  I love France, but I will be very glad to be back in Pensacola to see people.  

Les filles au pair

It was Mother's Day in France - Fête des mamans.  We had a big dinner and then some really good dinner.  

Lauren's twin Bec and her friend Jess came and are leaving tomorrow morning for Paris.  

Some cute guys that I sneak pictures of...

Also a cute dog -

More flowers -

Beaucoup des photos

I finally have the adaptor for my computer, so this is my first post in France from my computer. Today was my day off, so I met Lauren downtown in the city of Caen.  We went shopping, ate, and saw a movie.  Parfait!


I think that French flight attendents are prettier than American ones.  Well maybe not, but their outfits are better.  Matching scarves!

Here are some pictures of my host family's beautiful home.

They greeted me with pancakes.  The fish that Jade had won earlier was there.  Their cat, Kiera, was sunning in the backyard.  He has a girl's name because they thought he was a girl, but they thought wrong.

They have a treehouse type thing.  Here is the view of the house from the tree and...Lauren.

Beaucoup des fleurs...everywhere!

                             

                       

The view from my window - 

The balcony of the eldest girl's room...Then I found a tree to climb.  Here are pictures of the tree and the view from the tree.  

This one's for you Mr. Karadin.

Some pictures from around town...

  And then some silly pictures around town

Et ensuite...

Fin.
