... moitié) dans les pays Scandinaves. J'ai décidé de partir et voyager, parce que j'ai pas vu beaucoup d'endroit encore en Europe( L'aéroport Charles-de-Gaules, Bordeaux, Moulis-en-Médoc, la gare de train à Lyon, Grenoble, pis Morzine). J'ai besoin de voir du pays avant d'être pogné 4 mois et demi sur une pente de ski. Pis le Sud de l'Europe en automne... c'est pas vargeux! Fak j'me dit tant qu'a avoir frette m'a gelé pour vrai, sans trop gelé réellement; héhé!!! Donc, ouin ...

The Snow Sluts Tour of Saint Sorlin Teaser....more to follow! I begin my next Europe jaunt by legging it to the over ground connecting train to Clapham Junction. 20 min later I had made contact with my informer, named for the purposes of this blog and in real life in fact (funny that) Andrew Taylor. Waiting outside the main entrance to my intended railway station, I carefully scanned the passers by for possible 'Andrews' coming to meet me to officially commence the 7 days of ...

... on going to Paris, but if Kristina and Mary come up with a better idea, we just may do that instead. I will be home Saturday the 18th for sure, because that night I will be going to Lyon to see Banane Metalik. So much psychobilly, I think my head may explode. Updates and pictures after I return.

... Lorient. De match begon om 19u. Aangezien het hier nu al dagen heel mooi weer is (22graden..) besloten we om binnendoor te rijden (niet langs de autosnelweg dus) om rustig van het weer en de omgeving te kunnen genieten. We hebben hier ook een voetbal gekocht, dus konden we onderweg stoppen om even wat samba te verkopen. Grenoble is een zeer drukke stad en een belangrijke stad voor de sneeuwliefhebber. De Fransen die naar Italie willen gaan skieen/snowboarden, passeren langs hier ...

Today, I have been on this planet 22 years. I cannot believe that this past year has flown by so fast. This is particularly strange after having Megan here last week. We met three weeks into freshman year, so we have been friends almost my whole college career. It was so bizarre to find ourselves discussing our upcoming graduation and our post-degree plans. In two months I will no longer be an undergraduate but the holder of Bachelor's of Arts....WTF.

... as you like, and speak some in French, some in your native tongue. Today I met Charlotte for lunch on campus. She is a 25 year old PhD candidate who is studying computer science. She is from Strausbourg and knows a helluva lot more English than I know French! She writes articles in English but she wanted a Tandem partner because her speaking is not as strong as her writing. However, I think she speaks quite well! We are meeting again for lunch next week.

... this moment or spell. They are from England, but live in Grenoble with their parents full time. So I got to meet some cool people and lunch was soooo delicious with orderves, wine, dessert and of course the maine dish. And by the way this was not a quick lunch but a 4 hour Sunday afternoon event. Judy told me this is typical French culture. FUN I SAY, FUN!!!!

... mocratiques ! Fascistes ! Voilà. Puisque le vote à majorité n'était pas "démocratique" (démocratique voulant dire ici que "Sarkozy il a été élu, vous pas", et qu'à partir de là toute résistance est antidémocratiquefasciste) l'association est reprise par la foule: Bloqueurs = AntidémocratiquesFascistes. La deuxième AG, une AG de droite "spontanée" et en colère, une force sociale réactionnaire, un amas de 500 petits bourges venus défendre leur Avenir prend forme sous mes yeux ...

ALLEZ LES DEMS!! Wow, what a week for the States. What a week for the WORLD! If there is one thing I have found to be quite consistent among the French, they all seem to detest Bush. And as one French teacher was quoted, "it's about time U.S. voters figured out what much of the rest of the world already knew." Bravo! Last Wednesday I moved up 3 levels to a different French class. Obviously I didn't do very well on the test that I took to determine my level. Or, as it was at the ...
