Another day has gone by and once again I can't figure out where it went.
I met Charlotte, my host mom for the summer. She is very nice and thank goodness she knows a little English. I am doing awful with this French stuff.
Charlotte lives 1/2 hour outside of Paris in a beautiful little town in the country. There is flowers and grass everywhere and miles of countryside. The town has a few houses all next to one another with lots of trees in between each to separate them. It is pretty hot but tolerable.
I have a bedroom on the second floor in an attic type area. There is a little patio by my bed that looks out across the countryside. I also have my own little sink, no toilet, for washing up. There is a study connecting to my room and I have a little TV.
Downstairs is very extravagant yet simple. Everything is very old. Antique or something. There is a cherry tree in the back yard so that is all I've been eating since I got here. They are delicious.
She is different than most. She kind of eats whenever and is always talking with her 6 dogs and 3 cats. She says they are better than kids. Even though they are always fighting.
After we ate lunch we went to another little town and met a friend of hers and her son 16 year old Jerome. There were very nice. We spent the afternoon there. Since no one spoke English and I don't speak French I kind of sat there and listened most of the time. It was interesting.
I bought a French book but I don't think it is what I needed. It doesn't have the translations to English. I am so stupid!
I feel pretty frustrated right now but I'm not doing awful I guess.
