    It isn't easy being French

    Le sigh. I would be remiss if I were to only blog about the good stuff. Dave is at his first day of school and let me tell you something: it is lonely here! Yesterday was a day full of highs and lows. I should start by saying my biggest fears with this whole moving…

  • We Found Nemo!

    We Found Nemo!

    Sundays are interesting days in Europe. Everything is closed. Everything. We found one large grocery store that is open until 1pm, but that’s it. Sundays are literally a day of rest. I kinda didn’t know what to do with myself. I knew the deal with Sundays beforehand, thanks to a heads up from my Montpellier…

    Exploring Montpellier

    The first full day in our new digs, Dave and I went about trying to set up our cell phones and banking. This was of course after finding a little café and ordering two café au lait and two croissants. Because that felt authentic. After we enjoyed that, we set out to explore some more…

  • Roadtrip: Day Five

    Roadtrip: Day Five

    Ah Day 5. The final day. By the time we were leaving Columbus, I was starting to get punchy from being in the car. I knew the destination was close, but by the time we hit Pennsylvania (which was very beautiful, by the way) I was ready to be out of the car. We got…

    Roadtrip: Day Four

    By Day Four, I gotta admit, the days are starting to blend together. We’ve realized that there are so many things that we would like to see but just don’t have the time in which to do it. We did try and make some time in St. Louis though, because it is home to the…
