A day in La Rosiere
Today I slept in until 8:30. I got dressed and ready for the day, but Jessica wasn't up yet. I still do not feel comfortable enough to go upstairs and help myself to breakfast, so I waited until Jessica got up until I went upstairs. Jessica ...
1 week to go
... , thank goodness! We got picked up at 4:30 by Martine and we went to the shops. They have really good stationary in France, and Jessica bought me a fountain pen (because all the students use fountain pens at school) and this eraser for pen; it's not ...
Weekend
... time to leave all too soon, and we packed up and drove home. We watched a really old video about the ski patrolmen at La Rosiere, before the neighbor came over for a drink. The stayed for over an hour, talking about various things. Did you know that ...

... 's metro system. As it was 12:30, we got some lunch first. We went to a restaurant that serves food from Savoire, a region in France. Savoire is the Region in France that Jessica live n, and we joked that we had come all the way to Paris to eat food ...
New Years
... were going to go to the Health and Wellbeing Centre, which had a spa, sauna, pool, etc. We changed into our bathers there. In France, you take as shower before you get into the pool. I found that fact bizarre, but I guess that it keeps the pool clean. ...
Friday
Today was again the early start. We got ready pretty slowly; as we get up so early, it gives us a little more time to do things at the speed we feel like at that time. Today was a little difficult to get out of bed, as it was so warm and comfortable ...
One more ski
... same type of toilets I had seen elsewhere overseas. I quickly exited. We kept skiing, and eventually found ourselves back in France. I really like that style of skiing, when you're going somewhere, and not just going up and down the chairlift and ...
Back to school
... the photos. It was nearly dark out when we had finished. I don't think that I'll get used to that. We went back to La Rosiere. That night we all were so tired that we were in hysterics over nothing in particular. We laughed and laughed for an hour. ...
Post Christmas
... , right and centre, so I didn't know who gave me what. I ended up getting a lot of things. Stuffed toys from La Rosiere or typical French animals, keyrings, chocolates, a desk calendar with French pictures for each day. Jessica's grandmother gave me a ...
Cross country skiing
... It made me wonder how they determine the French-Italian border. We skied right to the Italian station. I think that it is smaller than La Rosiere, and set out differently. Italy, I found, has a lot more trees than France near the ski runs, and a few ...
School
... . Martine and I went shopping with her sister Christine and her mother in a town called Annecy. It was about 2 ½ hours away from La Rosiere, so it was a long drive. It was worth it, though as it was so beautiful. It was a really old village, ...
Weekend
... already dressed, so we watched TV for half an hour or so we decided to go on a walk. We walked into the centre of La Rosiere. Today there was a telethon, to raise money for kids with neurological problems. We walked up to where the ski lift was, and ...
Skiing today
Today I slept in again. I'd better not get used to this leisure, as on Monday I will have to wake up at 6am for school. By the time that jess and I had woken up, her parents had already gone to work. Her mum works at the ticket place for ...
Back to La Rosiere
... , the girls cheered for me and told me what a good job I had done. It made me feel really good. We returned to France and didn't ski for too long after that as Jessica still had homework. Jessica's grandmother picked us up and took us back. On the ...
La Rosiere
... up some groceries. We had to do it in Bourg- Saint-Maurice, the little village that is where I will go to school as La Rosiere does not have a supermarket. The supermarket had both clothes and food, which was unusual. I went to the school to pick ...
Paris
... in the Champs Elysees. I admit, it was more window shopping, as the Champs Elysees is the most expensive shopping district in France, and possibly the world. There was a Disney shop, where you queued to get in, go through security and then walk ...
Christmas
... to the adults. Roland and Martine dropped us off to go to the evening mass with Jessica's grandmother. They don't have a church in La Rosiere, so they converted the hall where I went to see the traditional dancing a few nights ago into a Church for ...
School2
... For some of this time, I wrote a speech as I was going to be talking to primary school children about Australia in France. I noticed something in Maths today; that everyone writes with fountain pens. Jessica says that they do this all the time. After ...
