My First Meal

So the day was pretty busy, got off to a rocky start though when my room missed the hotel wake up call, breakfast and leisurely shower time. Anyhow, tonight, my first dinner was insane, it consisted of crazy conversations about everything, Paris, belgium friends, disneyland in paris and how to properly say "shut up your fucking mouth" or "bloody" and it was craaaaazy. The meal was yummy cooked tomatoes with stuff on them, salad, yummy cheese and yummy apples and fish. All of it delish!!!
In the time since I last blogged I met lots of friends, random people, heard plans, gone to the trainstation for photos and been sent home when it was out of order .........AND met Alix who is a charming, funny, very different than Aurore child and I honestly am highly amused.....by EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!! (except for this goddamn crooked keyboard but if thats my biggest worry ill live)
Tomorrow at seven pm we are picking Sarah 'the older sister' at the Avignon trainstation and driving overnight to Paris. We have a dvd player in the car and I have been told that seeing Pearl Harbour is an absolute necessity. For the next eight days I will be in a nice Parisian apartment (belonging to Delphine the other sister) with what is said to be atleast 10 people and according to Aurore, there is a suprise on Sunday or Saturday I still cannot for the life of me get my dates right.
Alrighty then........enjoy my record two blogs in less than 12 hours and have fun freezing in Canada. My love to all and goodnight. :D

Jane Finds A Minute To Spare

So, Paris went off without any problems and even though I was insanely tired I had a lot of fun with all the crazy Canadians who shared my flight! Between Alex (a cookoo but really fun travel novice), Noah ( map crazy resident "fun guy") Tatum, Tara, Madysin and Madeleine I had hardly a minute to miss any of you, ain't that the truth......

I am here in chickenland (aka Aurore's house) and so far I have seen the pool, the insanely big back yard, looked at Avignon and Cavaillon briefly, taken a house tour (their house is the most amazing, quaint home you'll ever see!!!), seen my room, looked at animals, watched the chickens lay eggs and been forced fed food (in the best possible way- whose complaining???) by a very loud, funny, exuberant father. -while Aurore stood on rolling her eyes and interrupting every now and then to say papaaaaaaaa!!!

Short story?? I'm good and happy and not sad and tomorrow I'm heading right back to Paris to spend a week there before one day in Montpellier and then school. Turns out crazy Alex from the plane lives near me and is in my class at Lycée and honestly???? Feels a little like second times the charm. Cross your fingers!!
