Things are going well here. The weather is like Northern California temperatures with serious humidity and only partially blue skies. It had been that way since we got here Tuesday afternoon. Then, last night we had thunder, lightning and pouring rain. Linn and I are both adjusting, though I think I may adjust more quickly. :) The other things we'll need to work on while we're here are our tans. Being on the Meditteranean Ocean and near Italy and Spain everyone is soooo tan! Being from the Northwest we are the two brightest white people in town!
We got the keys to our dorm yesterday and it is huge! We have two desks, two beds, our own bathroom and a kitchenette with a sink, two burners and a mini-fridge. There is really a lot of room. We'll move in Friday as we still have one more night paid for in our hotel. Our hotel that told us we had our own bathroom, which consists of a sink and shower, but there is only one toilet for all the 17+ guests down two flights of stairs. I guess that is typically european!? The pictures above are the views from our hotel window.
I registered for class today which was easy enough. I was told i would have to take a placement test but the woman registering me said something in French, I responded with "huh??" and she said "You must be a beginner? No need for a test, we'll just put you in the beginning course." C'est Bon.
Linn starts Monday and is already scheduled to go on a vineyard tour this next week. Domaine de l'Hortus which is in Pic St Loup, an appellation in the Langedoc- Roussillon region. He'll probably post notes about his visits for those who are interested.
Until next time.
