Hello again! Well, the first week here has been fun and relaxing. Not much going on yet, so I've had time to get adjusted and just read, watch tv, do a puzzle...
On Thursday, we went down the Rennes, which is in Brittany. Paul's sister Ann is studying there, and we brought her some things for her apartment and spent some time in town. It's a nice college town with a canal and cool buildings. Nice crepes for dinner, huge pizzas for lunch, and nice weather the whole time.
Saturday, I went into Paris (by myself!), and met Talia for lunch. We went to a park by her apartment and ate, and then walked around. We met her husband, Matt, and Paul after and walked down by the Seine and got ice cream. A pretty typical Parisian Saturday afternoons, and we had hot sunny weather for it.
Today, I went to church with Paul in Plaisir. His church is called, Eglise Protestante Evangelique de Plaisir. He was preaching this morning, and a few people had remembered seeing me last fall when I was there. After chruch, we went to a neighborhood flea market! It only happens three times a year, and it's pretty big. A lot of it was junk, but I found a pretty cool bag, and Paul got a Beatles record. Then we had lunch with his family out in the garden in the sun.
I found out Friday, I'll start at Nogent this week. We're moving me in tomorrow, and then I'll start working a little this week, but the rest of the students don't arrive till next Sunday. So it'll be good to have a week to get used to being there before everyone else. I'll be sure and get some pictures of the place, and my address there, once I find out what it is. Till then, have a great week!
