And by "Saddle" I mean Classroom and this time as a Student! I have just registered as a student with Alliance Francaise where the placement test consisted of them saying, 'Do you speak French?" and me saying back to them in my version of French, "No I don't speak French!" Apparently no further testing was required!
I am very excited because for the next four weeks I will get to go off to class from 9 am to 12:45 pm Monday through Friday in a group with 7 other beginners. I hope they truly are beginners, and not people who took 4 years of French in High school and are just feeling a little insecure. ;-)
My next task is to find a gym with indoor cycling and weights and maybe a yoga class. I know what about outdoor cycling? Well there is that but it is more of the commuter variety where it is all about stopping for lights and dodging pedestrians. Plus I would love to teach if possible.
Of course I have my housewifery activities (cleaned the salle de bain today and did the wash) then apt is now jauntily decorated with Billy's under ware and socks.
None of my things could be washed because my bag got here yesterday and I retrieved it this morning from our Toulousen friends.
To be more exact I started out this morning but tea led to chatting, chatting led to lunch and lunch led to the most exquisite dessert! A moist dark chocolate cake that was made with figs and nuts. It was so good. Usually those deserts are so intense with chocolate that it is over whelming but the fig jam (the chef made it on site!) made the chocolate so accessible! It was heaven!
I think I'm really going to like France!!
