Vive les vacances et la campagne !!
I went away for the 14th of July (french independence day) and I came back with the thought in mind of stopping the blogs but heck, I came back to 7 comments from 7 different people !! Wow, this constitutes an actual audience !! Musn’t disappoint them now…
So, my first french holiday was spent à la campagne in Belleme (in the countryside). Citygirl me was thinking farms and cows but it ended up being a nice big ol’ house with bbq in the yard everyday but since we were 10, we ended up setting up tents in the backyard so 1/2 ended up inside the house and the other 1/2 outside. Of course, I couldn’t settle for one so I had the downstairs suite to myself for 2 nights and I finagled 2 nights outside in a tent. My friend though conveniently forgot to tell me that the tent faced the sunrise so I was baked around 8AM. But I got smart and for my second night, although I didn’t move the tent, I did barter myself a nice inflatable mattress and man, did it make a difference !

Congrats on moving across the world and not telling me. =( Who’s going with me to watch all those free movies. Do I have a place to stay if I come and visit. Good luck and I am jealous. Take care and be safe

Yeah, I would think a mattress would make a big difference. Sleeping on the ground just isn’t all that comfortable. Glad to hear you’re having fun out there. How’s the job hunt going? By the way, Trish is out in Germany already. Wish I could give you her address, but for some strange reason…I don’t have it. Hook me up with your snail mail address and number. Take Care Elise.

How dare you consider giving up on this blog! ;-p
Congrats on having 7 readers, I think you have twice as many as my blog, haha.
So is a BBQ any different in France than it is in the US?
