So far it has been rainy and cold, as I thought it might be. But despite my first day here and the rude morning I awoke to, I am having a wonderful time. Marie and Pascal are exhausting themselves by speaking with me in English, and I am exhausting myself by trying to grasp the conversations in French. So we are all tired!!
I am progressing, though, because yesterday we took a tour of l'Abbaye aux Hommes, and I was able to follow a fair amount of what the tour guide said. Of course it was all in French. Oh, and of course I did not bring my camera, either but I promised you links not photos, so you will just have to deal.
Before the tour we drove to Honfleur and had the best Scallops aux Gratin ever. We were going to see the famous cliffs, but it only stopped raining for about thirty minutes so we opted to drive home.
On Monday night we saw the Kills in concert and I thought about throwing my panties at them because I am totally in love. I think they're with each other, but maybe I can be a groupie or something?
Today, I am solving the problem of "how to get a haircut in France when you don't speak French" by going to my host Frenchie's salon (and going with her of course). I think a new haircut and maybe a colorful new something or other will be just the ticket to make me feel all shiny and new after that thing with that one guy.
More links tomorrow.

I love getting a haircut when I need that "something new" to happen... I feel like it always sparks some kind of huge cosmic reaction in my favor....
I know, that sounded very dorky! but I'm cool with that ;)
haha my problem with getting a haircut when i need a change is that it only lasts a week...then i'm right back to pulling it up in a knot ;-)
glad you're doing something for yourself, doll!
