While it is quite a pretty little town, it is small and very dull compared to Paris!!! :)<BR/><BR/>The food is usually very good (especially overpriced crepes by Le Tour Eiffel) and I am addicted to sliced gouda. As far as drinks go, I've only tasted sangria and it was unappealing, but hopefully I'll get some good wine soon.<BR/><BR/>My red jacket is warm enough but nobody wears colors over here so wearing my red jacket is the equivalent of holding a sign that says, "Look at me! I'm American!" Sometimes it's not unbearably cold but throughout the day it changes and I'll sometimes wish I had more layers on.<BR/><BR/>I love your comments!!! Keep 'em comin'! Love you!Pagée en Françaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149560968163427034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818169893862595792.post-72351278607631184862009-01-18T09:06:00.000-08:002009-01-18T09:06:00.000-08:00wow you sound like your having an adventure! was m...wow you sound like your having an adventure! was mass the same for the most part?Kevin Lemmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03794957809863400800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818169893862595792.post-36109619776155169962009-01-16T21:43:00.000-08:002009-01-16T21:43:00.000-08:00"dead or worse"? I've been there too. Surprising..."dead or worse"? I've been there too. Surprisingly, it occurred Sunday/Monday night for me. What's the time difference?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hooray for adventuring on your own. I don't think that guy would have killed you - probably just drilled wholes through you with his eyes. (Let me tell you Paige, it was difficult not to make a different joke there that would have had you and your Mom and probably your Dad, brother and sisters all mad at me for a VERY LONG time. But that is the kind of strength, consideration and discipline that I have. I held out until a different joke came into my head. You can thank me later. And Carol, if you are reading this - Happy Birthday to you.)<BR/><BR/>So is the city quaint? beautiful? charming? boring? And that oral teacher you think hates Americans - well she is just proving what I have told you all along about the French, except now it becomes apparent that the olfactory challenge of the French is internal as well as external. What of the food? <BR/><BR/>Throw away those heeled boots and get you some hiking shoes and a mini skirt - then you are ready for EVERYTHING / ANYTHING. Is your red jacket working for you or is the cold to your bones and you wish you had 3 pairs of long johns on under your clothes?<BR/><BR/>I cannot send you anything in snail mail, yet, but I will. Meanwhile, I will do my best to leave you comments as much as possible.<BR/><BR/>(BTW - this is just between you and me - if you put yourself into the stories you read, I am glad there is not a book of The Last Tango in Paris. In case you don't realize it, I am entertaining myself something fierce!)<BR/><BR/>Love you, Paige. I will try to be a little less sarcastic and a lot more "in tune" next time. I am serious about the questions with which I challenged you. I really would like to know about the city and the food.<BR/><BR/>Looking forward to your next blog.Mary Marble Madnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235378511340032169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818169893862595792.post-6817947020234461132009-01-15T22:24:00.000-08:002009-01-15T22:24:00.000-08:00Hang in there Paige!

I'm sure that as you get a little deeper into the semester you'll find other students to commiserate with!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10173715040964136200noreply@blogger.com
