Time flies!

Bonjour, mes amis!

It's been a little over two weeks already since I stepped foot in France - hard to believe how quickly the time is passing.  Once Monday morning arrived and I started school I haven't had much more than 5 minutes to breathe..!  But it's been good.  The classes in French are literally all day every day five days a week, so it doesn't leave you with a lot of time on your hands.  Inbetween going to class and doing my homework I have been trying to fit in seeing a few places here.  Have been into Nice several times - that's where you go to primarily shop and get errands done.  But, finally, yesterday I had a chance to actually do some sightseeing.  Rosie, the loveliest New Zealand romance writer ever, and I managed to get to Eze and also the Villa de Ephrussi Rothschild in Beaulieu.  Both of them unique places to visit in very different ways.

The weather was slightly shy of horrible for much of the day, but we managed to eke out a wonderfully adventurous day and I can scratch these places off my list now!  Sorry - you will have to check my facebook site for pictures - having some issues figuring out how to post pictures on this blog...

Today I am off to the Musee de Marc Chagall in Nice with another friend who writes the most wonderful blog called French Letters on Wordpress.  It's definitely worth checking out - she is quite unique in her own rights and has an interesting story to tell.  Honestly, the people I am in school with are all so unique and interesting I wouldn't even know where to begin to tell you about them.  But, suffice it to say, this is the most fascinating adventure I think I've ever had.  I have met people from all over the world here, a very eclectic bunch I might add.  But, my favorites are the girls from Australia and New Zealand who are an absolute hoot.  I might just have to move Australia and New Zealand closer to the top of the bucket list.

Anyway, have to run - I'll keep you posted.
