Dave and Meghan cook dinner tonight and give Susie the night off. The french baguettes have become a staple in this house. We have several bakeries within a five minute walk from our apartment. After two weeks of not running I decided today would be a good day to start back up. We do not have the Indiana humidity here so it is very pleasant running weather.
Meghan learns how to play monopoly in french! Sabine ,our relocation specialist, is leaving for five weeks of vacation and won't return until late August. While she was driving me around showing me the bike and running trails, the indoor pool, the hairdresser ( who only speaks french), and other important locations, Meghan was home with her children playing Monopoly and scrabble in French. Dave and I are so proud of how mature she has behaved during this transition period. As many of you know she was not real excited about leaving her comfort zone. She played for three hours with children that spoke only French.
The hydrangnas are in full bloom everywhere and the colors are just stunning. This picture was taken on my walk to Sabine's house. Meghan and I walk everywhere because Dave's work is 25 minutes away and he has the car during the day. We love walking but are anxious for our bikes to get here.
Look mom, just like growing up in Batesville with no dryer. The washer is very little and holds about three towels and not much more. Doing laundry early a.m. and hanging it on the terrace is my morning routine. Good thing we live on the fourth floor. I'm just wondering what they do in the winter.

Hello, Garriotts!
Wow! It sounds like you are having an amazing experience. I am so glad and so happy to have the chance to read about all of the fun - and interesting challenges (yikes with the curling iron)! Meghan will have such a unique perspective which I know that she will cherish for the rest of her life. I wish you the best as you continue on in this adventure!
