Bonjour from Bordeaux! To the right is a picture from my bedroom window. Below is the jardin, across the way is an old English couple, and to the right is my host dad's workshop.My trip was tough- SF to London, London to Paris, a night in Paris, and then train to Bordeaux where I met up with the girl who is subletting my room in Berkeley (but who lives in Bordeaux right now). She and her family were SO SWEET to let me stay there and feed me real French food and take me shopping.
I'm now with my host family who are also very sweet- they are two artists with two little girls who are 8 and 10 years old. They bought this house in a very expensive area for cheap and then fixed it up- it was unlivable before they fixed it.
That's it for now- it's quite hard for me to blog right now because I'm just so overwhelmed by all this new information and can't process it well enough to know what a good story might be.
A Bientôt!

Wow Julia! I am so happy for you (and just a little jealous). It seems like everyone in France is an artist (or maybe that is just in contrast with America's stick figureally challenged culture). I hope all is going well!
ReplyDeleteOh Julia...every moment is a good story if you are enjoying it. Don't stress! (You're so good at that.) Have some French food, learn to paint like a French artist, and rest assured that life rocks!! (Despite my absence of course. My heart hurts without you.) Love you.
