la neige (snow)

Hey All! Hope your week is off to a good start. I'm guessing many of you are dealing with the big snow storm taking America by, um, storm. I have avoided the snow for the most part but have enjoyed watching it come down from the comforts of indoors. Barring any flight cancellations I will be leaving for Germany on Thursday. I arrive in Germany on Friday and take an 8 hour train ride to Bordeaux on Saturday. I can't wait to see Brenda!!!

Speaking of Brenda, France seems to be treating her well. She has rehearsals everyday except Sunday and when she's not in rehearsal she spends time with friends and skypes with me. Skype is awesome. I look forward to exploring Bordeaux with her and taking a lot of pictures. By the way, weren't the pictures Brenda posted on the blog last week nice? She has a real knack for blogging. I think she should do it more often.

Brenda and I will be in France until the first week in March. I have never been to France before and speak approximately 3 words of French. (One of those words is cheese.) I don't know if I will try to learn any French while I'm in Bordeaux for fear that it will take the place of some of my German vocabulary (or English vocabulary for that matter). I'll just wear a beret and do my best to fit in.

I will be writing to you next week from France! Until then, have a great week and au revoir!
