There has been some crazy weather here in France the past couple of days. Last week it was beautiful, sunny with the highs in the 60’s, and this week it has been snowing off and on since Sunday!!!! At least nothing is sticking, so the snow isn’t too bad. Right now it looks like a blizzard outside.
I read in the paper that this year has actually been the mildest winter in recorded history for this area. It seems all the bad weather has stayed in the US.
Today I have been working on planning my next big trip. I am going to Barcelona, Rome, and Venice in April. It will be another trip with lots of traveling, but it will be nice to go to some different countries. This afternoon Sarah and I went to FNAC, THE bookstore in France, and bought guidebooks for Rome and Venice (she already had one for Barcelona). I am getting very excited.
We haven’t planned any other trips before then because we are trying to save our money for this trip. It has been kind of nice just to have some down time. We only have about three weeks before we go…YEA.
Teaching has been going all right. We have been doing the parts of the body for the past week and a half. There have been some problems grasping the concept that you don’t pronounce the “k” in knee and it is mouth and not mouse. The “th” sound is really hard for the French to pronounce, so I have them really stick their tongues out and between their teeth, so I end up getting covered in spit. I have to make sure I stand far away.
Now it has stopped snowing and the sun is shining. It reminds me a lot of good, old Colorado weather!
