Notre Fête

Okay, so this will be a quick post. We're currently finishing off a Marchutz "potluck." It was awesome, so informal, even though our art professors and their wives were here. Many candles, I brought hazelnut chocolate, many people brought wine, we had brilliant cheese ($7 in the US, but it's "cheap" cheese here -hah!), an absolutely amazing French pastry/cake, and fruit salad that I could actually eat. More details on this adventure tomorrow probably. We accidentally started two fires, and I put the first one out. My friend Nadia is currently juggling clementines. Going in search of boots tomorrow. A demain!

    Please, please buy boots. I so wish you could send the wine and cheese home. I feel certain we would all love it. You CAN bring/send the chocolate.

    Slowly, ever so slowly, you're forcing us to learn French. Good for you!

    The "potluck" sounds like it was a great time for all concerned, and an opportunity for you to meet the faculty spouses - as well as getting to know the profs more as people and less as teachers.

    Enjoy all that good eating, as long as you're walking it off.

    Thanks for the message that you received my text. I'm working on getting a Skype setup and will be in touch, probably via email.

    A bientot!

    Oh, trust me, I'm definitely walking it off..... I do a minimum of 5 mi a day, frequently closer to six or seven.
