C'est Bon, Ça!

Well, I am officially in France. And yes, I am now excited. :)


I've been eating very well these past few days, as expected. Once I got past the hairy airplane food (not literally hairy, thank goodness), it's been smooth sailing. I even tried Fois Gras today. (Pause for reaction). It actually wasn't too bad. But that's probably because I couldn't remember what it actually was, and have not had the heart (read: stomach) to look it up yet. Other than that, I've had lots of wine, LOTS of cheese (which is delicious), and lots of cake. C'est la belle vie, non?

I have not, horror of all horrors, taken any photos yet. Except of the puppy chez mon temporary host family. He was the cutest most energetic little thing! There's a puppy here, too. He lives outside, but I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to play with him whenever I miss Mister, Milo, and Monty too terribly.

I'm not too jet-lagged, thank goodness. I've never particularly noticed any pronounced effect of travelling timezones. To be sure, I was exhausted when I got here (after not sleeping all night), and took a two-hour nap or so. And I was exhausted last night, and slept soundly for over 12 hours. But I think I'll be able to get fully on track with sleep tonight.

So far, I've driven through Paris a little bit--revisting old sites I've missed and seeing some new ones that I'll have to go back for when I've got more time. And then today, I walked to the tram with M. et Mme. H and we took the tram all the way to Orléans so they could show me the route to walk from the gare (train station) to M. et Mme. D's house where I'll be staying permanently. Everything here is adorable. There's a tiny house on the Loiret that the tram passes from the school to Orléans proper that is simply adorable. And all the houses are amazing. Adorable. Small, but so efficient.

Well, I suppose that's all for now. I've been transferred from M. et Mme. H's to M. et Mme. D's where I will be permanently for the rest of the semester. Alors, I suppose I should unpack and all that good stuff.

Bonne nuit, mes cheris.!
