 What i think about France so far??? 

WOW...is pretty much all i can say right now! Which is a good thing : ) I mean France has been really amazing so far. I've met some interesting people, seen some interesting things. But most of all i'm getting the chance to see another culture. I absolutly love the French way of life. The pace here is so laid back and slow, like there's no cares or worries in the world. It feels great to take a break for the busy,fast pace life back in the states. There's no people rushing to get some place, just people taking there time to get to where they need to go.

I came to one conclusion since being here....and that is that the French loves food. I mean they really do! If you go out around 12 most of all the stores a closed. They take 2hr lunches here! The chldren get picked up  from school for 2hrs, and the people get off from work for 2hrs just to eat lunch. And they value vacation time as well...how does a month off sounds??? to me GREAT!!! lol On the 1st day being here, we had a 5 cousre meal. I definitly ate to much lol but it was good. They mostly have bread, salad, and wine with every meal. Food is very important in France. Most of the time our dinners last a very long time..around two 2hrs.

Have so many stories i have to share..i've been slacking a little bit with udating my blog but i will make sure to post everyday becuase everyday will be an adventure....

Until next time...
