Winter is creeping up...



L'eglise devant notre maison! 

L'ete vs. l'hiver


Although we are in the South of France, the cold is really getting to me. The wind here is particularly fierce and violent, so warm coats, scarves and wooly hats it is! (What a contrast to our super-bronzed skin in summer! ) 
             Taught the kids again today - they were super-excited about the "London Quiz", and I am starting to connect with them, even the difficult ones! Yay, I think that when I go back to London I will volunteer to do some tutoring, I really enjoy it in a strange kind of way.
Tried to go shopping but unfortunately the shops here (H&M, Zara and Jennyfer) do not have much variety. I was some warm but cute winter clothes! Maybe I should wait until I get to Austria - don't want to be lugging around extra baggage on our epic trip out of Avignon.
           Wow- Paris and Vietnam soon! I am so excited about both. Paris will be a nice girly trip with Rita and Dana - meals, jazz clubs, tea at a mosque, and maybe even some tourist-y things!
Vietnam is going to be such an exciting experience, I cannot even begin to imagine how much fun I will have there. Then back to France for my 3 (!) hour History of Art exam - then the next stop might possibly be Switzerland...

This year has been amazing so far, it has had its downs, but overall I am extremely excited and happy! I can't believe that it is already mid-November!
