Bienvenue a St Michel

Leaving the Paris airport did not come soon enough! I managed to kill 12 hours but it was some of the longest hours of my life...people just aren't that weird in Paris. There aren't any fatties and people are pretty fashionable, minus some crazy ass heals here and there. Overall, the people watching sucked. I ended up roaming around a lot and drinking way too much coffee to stay awake. Luckily, all the issues with the sim card for my phone took up a decent amount of time but also gave me a raging headache since no one wanted to help a sister out and try to speak some English. I understand it's France and I should be speaking French, I definitely tried my best, but some things are not easy to translate. Enough airport crap.

So, this is totally how it looks out here, more pictures to come obviously. I plan on doing some exploring with my camera later today. My host, Brigitte, met me at the train station last night and the first thing I got to eat for my midnight snack was brie and other cheese, bread and duck. I am already in love with this place. The duck is pretty plentiful out here I guess, so I think my diet will consist of mainly duck and cheese. I am more than okay with this. I had better not try to make any duck friends around here though, I don't think the friendship would last long.

Fun fact: this "city" of St Michel consists of 4 houses....and I'm in one of them, ha! I am way more in the middle of nowhere than I thought I'd be, so I have no idea how this traveling around thing is going to work. I guess my international drivers license will be coming in handy instead. And there should be another 2 work-awayers coming into town in 10 days, so I will have people to hang out with!

I think it's time to go exploring...
