Oh la la. Alors, je suis ici.
Ok, I'm here. I'm typing on a French keyboard (clavier francais) which, like the rest of the country, is just enough different from what I know to make it very slow going.
The trip over was uneventful but long. I aquired a flu bug Wednesday in San Francisco which wiped me out. In that I had to fly home on Thursday night, pack, close down my work stuff, and get on a plane by Saturday afternoon, having a fever and a head full of gunk was the last thing I needed. Packing was a rather haphazard affair (and believe me, there are a million things I wish I'd brought) I didn't sleep much on the plane since I couldn't breathe, and I spent all day Sunday in the airport (the morning in Paris and the afternoon in Marseille). As I felt my brain slip quietly into a coma, I prayed that the instructors of the language course would ease into this whole parle francais 24/7 thing. But no! Catherine picked us up at the airport and it began.
Uhoh, it turns out my class is meeting now. More later...
