Hotel Wilson Dijon

... a frozen picture that doesn't require speaking). The girls there were all very nice and tried their best to explain things in english for me although they only know a little bit. Then i caught the bus by myself for the way back. Which is the first time i have ever done that, and definately the first time in another country and so i was quite proud of myself =) but God was definately looking after me =)
love you all and miss you

... off to sleep random french words kept popping into my head, it was weird.
Tomorro i have to get up early and go to school =( Marie has only 3 lessons tomorrow but that takes all day and then she has a sport exam. So i will leave school at 3.
It is nearly 8 and i want to go to bed already but i need to stay awake and also we haven't had dinner yet and so i should wait up. I am not feeling so good anymore and so i will type some more another time.
au revoir!

... is that everything closes for lunch from 12 to 2. They are serious on their lunchtime here, and when its raining and there's not much sightseeing to do in the small towns, well, lets just say we were lucky to have enough wine to get us through it. We also tried a proper french dinner in the town of Beaune, a 4 course meal for 12 Euros. Caity got Rabbit and Tom got Veal, or so we thought. We still aren't sure ...

... We slept in the next morning since we had a late night watching football and check out wasn't until 11am. Breakfast was served starting at 9am though so I was downstairs at 9:15am. I was very hungry and they must have known because the breakfast buffet was loaded down with everything, toast, croissants, pastries, cereal, coffee, milk, juice, and Nutella! I even went back for seconds. At breakfast we discussed what we wanted to do that day and with the 3 hour drive ahead ...

... number of 'across the streets'. She should have said to the left and down the street.
Again the next morning I did the same thing, but now line 7 wasnt working so I couldnt get back to the centre so I was going to go down the street and catch line 15 but there was a whole heap of construction work which meant that stop wasn't in service. So I gave up on the buses and used each stop's very dodgy bus route maps to find my way, whereupon I finally arrived at the tourist office.

Neinburg Weser

After a delightful week with my cousin Marilys and her husband Gerd at their lovely home in niemburg being shown places we would never have found without them - the painted church at Marklohe where Gerd had been Pastor, the great stone at Staatsforst Krahe, the palace at Celle, the blueberry (hfarm and cafe at Brokeloh where we enjoyed the unlikely combination of a type of potato rosti/pancake with blueberry sauce ...

... Comté, d'Alsace, parfois même d'Île-de-France, et est, particulièrement dans ses rues les plus tranquilles, totalement séduisante. Je me promène comme ça pendant près de trois heures, parcourant les quatre coins du centre-ville, passant devant la cathédrale Saint-Jean, Notre-Dame de Dijon (avec sa chouette en pierre qui porte chance), les Halles, la Place de la République, le musée Rude, et bien d'autres. Une longue mais passionnante visite pendant laquelle mon Olympus clique ...

... been anticipating them actually turning them on! And they finally did! It is so nice! I have some added some more photos in the album so check it out! As for school, my semester is coming to a close. I have two finals this week and then I only have one more test before I leave! This coming weekend I'm going to Brussels to meet Lindsey and I cant wait!

... is perfectly fine and is not that bad in price. I found the metro stops to be very clean and efficient, and what was great is that the stops were announced and shown on a neon sign as we stopped. I think one ticket was around 1 euro 50, or less, but you can get a whole day pass for 4 euros, and I think you can use it unlimited for the entire day. Definitely get a good map of Brussels because it could be helpful; don't do what I do and actually use your map; don't ...

... of the why they like to wear clothes that are so small. He said, "il fait trop chaud pour porter beaucoup des vetements" (it's too hot to wear lots of clothes.) Yeah, it's only about 70 degrees here.... 2) On Monday, I was sitting outside using my laptop...and some guy came over and asked me out. Just said, "oh you're an American, I want to learn English, we should go out..." very suave. 3) Perhaps the most scandalous ...
