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.  

Je peux conduire ici - j'ai reussi

Alors - not a big post because of the computer problem.  Just wanted to let you know that I did not embarrass myself today when driving.  In fact, I did rather well.  And I am getting used to this keyboard, which means it may be difficult to return to the American one.  


I drove last night with Fred and drove Maude to school with Lawrie.  C'est pas trop difficile.  I stalled 3 times in rather inconvenient places but people seem to be patient here.  Lawrie certainly is.  I am going to start English lessons today with the two younger kids.  Maude, the oldest is very good at English already.  


Sorry Mom, can't say that I am homesick, it is too perfect here.  Although I was during that horrible experience at the airport.  I wanted to come home immediately.  But things got better once I got some sleep and some food.


So on this keyboard, the A is in a very inconvenient place.  I have to reach and use my pinky finger.  Les français sont très bizzares.  The period is in an inconvient place.  I like where they put the M but not the Z or W.  All the numbers you have to press shift to use because the French have all these crazy symbols like é, è, ç, à.  And the comma is in a different place.  


So now I am going to prep for my lesson that I am going to have with the children.  à bientot
