First Week

Well I must admit that I have officially lost track of the day and time.  I have never been so reliant on a clock as I am now.  Fortunately, there isn't often that I need one so I am not relying on it much.  Yesterday Madison and I took the day off from sightseeing, well except for a little hour trip around a church in Bernin where we got some lovely photos. 

Today was very rainy so again no sightseeing but it made for a good day for laundry and some itunes downloading of some american shows.  We did take a nice walk around our immediate neighborhood and found some parks and beautiful walking trails as well as a pond and some ducks.  When Jon got off work we ate in Bernin (which is where he works) at a place he loves for the pizza.  The waitress was so nice and was the first person who smiled and wanted to speak english to us.  I enjoyed her attempt very much! 

This weekend we will venture a little further away from home with Jon's help.  I will attempt to go up and video the jumpers off of Dent de Crolles.  Hopefully Jon and Madison will be up for a little cave exploring as well.

It is taking a bit of getting used to that I can't speak to anyone here and the amenities or rather lack of amenities of course for all of you that know me...the lack of american tv; but all in all I am so ecstatic to be here and be experiencing this opportunity.

lots of hugs and kisses to those of you at home!
