Well, I think my 4 days of good weather is all I may have. It started rainig last night and it han't stopped! I am not sure if I will be able to deal with this for the next 9 months! I brought I rain jacket, but it wasn't enough so I tried to find an umbrella. The cheapest one was 15 euros and bright ORANGE. It really makes me stand out, but Sarah said that she would still walk next to me!
Sarah is really nice, and we are getting along well. It has been fun talking to her and learning all the different words we use. I will probably come home calling french fries chips or say things like bugger off and blimey.
The past two days we have walked all over Belfort. Yesterday we went up to the castle and had a look around it was really amazing. There are some spectacular views from the top. I took a ton of pictures, and I hope I can find a way to get my computer on the internet soon so I can put them up.
Today we went and met two of the English teachers. They gave us a better idea about where to start with the kids and what we should cover. Then we went to lunch. Tomorrow one of the techers is coming to pîck us up, and we are going to have dinner at her house. Again everyone was so nice and really helpful.
Tomorrow I think we are going to look some more for a place to live, and also try to open our bank accounts. We were going to try today, but there are many places that are not even open on Mondays. That is definitely a change from the US. We have also found out that the grocery store is not open on Sunday, and that most places are closed from noon to 2 pm for lunch. I am sure this is just the start of all the things that are different!
Well, I guess I am going to venture back out into the rain with my ugly orange umbrella. At least when it starts to snow someone will always be able to find me!

I think you should give your umbrella a nick name.
