Due to the help of my brother and Joan, as well as Google Translate, I have perfected a little bit of my French. I still have ways to go. But I have taken some baby steps. Today I went to the French Toursism Office. Knowing my luck, I ended up talking to the only lady in the office who didn't speak English... go figure. At least I could understand enough to know what the big festivities are this weekend in Aix. The rest I guess I can figure out on my own.
I made it through my second trip to the grocery store... although when I left it began to hail! Awesome.
Mark and I went bowling with his coworkers at ITER. It was quite an eventful evening. I think every lane we bowled on ended up breaking down, but somehow I still ended up with the highest score! I won some kind of certificate... I don't think it really means anything except that I beat everyone else! Afterwards we went to the "famous" Irish pub, O'Sullivan's... had a few drinks and headed home.
Tomorrow we hope to make it to le Centre Ville for the parade and party for Noel. More to come soon!
