What a great experience this is. I'm spending my time with people who love France and French as much as I do, and then with the French themselves. I'm learning a lot of new vocab and hope to figure out ways to remember and practice it. The other teachers here are becoming good friends - it's a lot like camp. I'll probably cry at the end, just like when I was at Ewalu or Dorian!

The Cariot family is just fabulous (my hosts). We spend hours chatting each night and comparing our cultures and countries. Last night we had raclettes, a specialty from the Savoie region, and a cousin of fondue. Delicious. We are drinking a lot of rose wine from Provence because it's summer and quite humid. Nice way to cool off!
