Bonjour, Yes I really am in Paris, Quite an amazing feat since just a few days ago I was back at my classroom trying to clean out the moldy,blue,birthday cupcakes hiding behind the play kitchen stove..
The first thing I notice about France is that it is just like Long Island..the plants and bushes are the same, hydrangas and holly hocks, maple tress, morning glories,,maybe I expected some old rare and unusual flora to appear..next the rooms have four walls and look like ours,, Not the stone caslelike walls one would expect from picture books...It is actually quite like home..except I can't understand what people are saying and I am 9 hours time difference..
I really want to call people but it is always the middle of the night there.I am not adjusting well to not being able to send a text at will ,or feeling my pocket vibrate every 5 minutes.
My host family is wonderful.They are true servants and used to having guests..They are so happy to have a home that can house a few extra friends from time to time,, I am very grateful.
I am here to help with their three boys while they get settled..Zander and jack are in 4th and 5th grade and my buddy Noah is 18 months..I think.. Full of energy and happy to play with me..I have forgotten how to play over this year..They are reminding me,, especially after dinner when the guys beat me at Wii...Beat me by a wide margin..But I am sure I can conquer this game by the time I leave here!!
Time to watch a video with the guys.. More to come..
Love, Judi
