La famille

Hi guys,

It's been nice here since the last time I blogged. Saturday night our entire group of 16 people went out to dinner at this adorable cafe right beside Notre Dame. It was so nice and delicious and very Parisian. And of course it was nice to go out to eat at a nice restaurant all together. I had a salmon entree and, of course, a crepe. Always with the crepes.

Today (Sunday) was the day that we moved into our host families' houses. It was cute and very camp-like to see each other leave with our new hosts. As nice as our hostel was, it's even better to be in an actual house. My house and my hosts are really nice. I'm living with a married couple, Monsieur et Madame de Saint Marie. They have four kids, but they are all either married or in school, so they are empty-nesters. We ate lunch and dinner at the house today, and they were both delicious. For lunch, we had roast, green beans, bread, fried potatoes, a cheese course, and an apple crisp. For dinner, we had a yummy salad with avocado, a salmon quiche, and more cheese. I could eat French food all the time.

Tomorrow is my first day of class, but I don't have class until 6:30 PM. Hopefully I'll take pictures of my new house and the Seine, which is right around the corner. Also a few of us from class are going to the Crypt under Notre Dame. That should be interesting, so I'll keep you guys updated.


Stay tuned for photos tomorrow...
