The torture is all self-imposed and no doubt hallucinatory (tho silicone sniffing helps). We love the people, the wine, the food, the place, and the fact that we can share our ups and downs. I am glad that we will be here for four more months to become 'regulars' on the block.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-72008882862088669922007-05-29T12:48:00.000-06:002007-05-29T12:48:00.000-06:00You think that all these little French "trials and...You think that all these little French "trials and tribulations" are having an effect on your delicate American psyches...but keep in mind you are causing changes in the French also...for good or ill...La France ne sera jamais identique!<BR/><BR/>As you can see, Luke is trying to use the Babel Fish when she can think up some pithy little phrase that won't tax her language skills too much!<BR/><BR/>You are brave and adventurous people and I'm glad to see that you are beginning to feel more a'la maison in Leran.<BR/><BR/>Appreciez!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5425550699774238271.post-64452473876667888692007-05-28T15:31:00.000-06:002007-05-28T15:31:00.000-06:00Hey Nancy; I'm glad to hear that you were able to...Hey Nancy; I'm glad to hear that you were able to breeze in and out of Barcelona without mishap. No robbery or nothing, how lucky can you get?<BR/>Ikea is a fun place to shop. We tried it in both Seattle and Stockholm and loved each adventure. Last time we were in Oxford, we rented a flat for a week and I swear it was totally outfitted by IKEA.

Maybe it is because you like the challenge of establishing yourselves in France, and once established, discovering the new surroundings, the new language and the new people. You could be here living my life. I still say enjoy the adventure, it would be too bad if you were not having a good time, if this were torture, one would wonder why you were doing it. I think there are a lot of us that are envying you, even your trials and tribulations sound pretty good to me compared to the jehova's witnesses and so I say, have fun, find the humor, enjoy. Hope this doesn't sound like preaching, but consider the gravity of the problems, waiting for the internet for 8 or 10 days doesn't sound so serious. We will be happy to see your wonderful photos when we see them. Look for the joy. Love, Leslielesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587497092023312034noreply@blogger.com
