A short post as I'm on my host family's ancient French computer (and equally French key board) and internet activity is slow going: I made it to Blois and am staying with a wonderful temporary host family while I wait for my studio to open up. Everyone has been super nice, even the Parisians (!). I was up for 31 hours and then slept for 16 and am thus well on my way to beating jet lag. French communication successful so far.
I will tour Blois tomorrow. Sites to see/find include the chateau, the library, the Loire, the nearest grocery store, the centre-ville (old part of town--like 1100 years old), the pool (maybe I'll get a membership), a few churches, a second-hand bookstore, and cheap restaurants. Also getting a French bank account. Friday I will be in Orléans getting my birth certificate translated as well as touring France's old capitol. Sunday I move to my new home near Blois's centre-ville.
A plus, donc,
Erin
