In the Land of France...
So, I am no longer in France. I am now sitting in a cafe in Clapham, London down the street from Hugh's residence. It was quite a journey with it's ups and downs but on the whole, my first ever France experience was great. I am dissapointed to report however, that as children, we were misslead, and I would like to correct something, and that is this: Ladies and gentleman, women in France in fact DO wear pants and all though I haven t had a chance to double check, I'm almost positive that the men wear underwear. Although, there are holes in the walls in a number of buildings, I highly doubt that there are children on the other side peering through as there is nothing for them to see. This land of naked rompers that we were brought up to believe was France, does not exsist so if you were planning on traveling to this side of the globe to see this spectical, I warn you now, unpack your bags and head to wreck beach because I haven't seen a pantless feme yet.
So, I've been having a nice time catching up with Hugh-the-love-rat-Grant. He has left me on my own today though, to find my own way around and hopefully, not get lost. I'm fairly confident in myself though have I not decided what I am going to so this arvo...guess I should get around to that see as it is now 1:30pm. We were blessed with a phone call from our dear friend Ginger in Oz yesterday. Lovely to hear her voice. She was exstatic to hear a Canadian accent again. Dito!!
I'm not yet used to hearing people speaking English or driving on the wrong side of the road (Hugh assures me that it's the rest of the world that has it wrong...). I keep on finding myself saying (in my head...) "oh, those people must be from England..." and then I look Left instead of right and nearly get my socks knocked off. I can't even count the number of times, I've stepped off the curb to cross the road, and walked right into Hugh's arm, placed out in front of me to stop me from walking into the on coming traffic. What a life saver.
I have to get used to looking right, then left instead of the other way around.
I've got my typing back though...THANK GOD FOR ENGLISH KEY BOARDS!! And, I hopefully will have access to computers more regularily to update.
But, until then,
Ciao for now.
