Part deux de mon voyage

            Well the first part of my trip went swimmingly, unfortunately the second part was not as good.  I got on the plane to France just fine and I got off with enough time to get to the train, malheureusement, my luggage did not arrive with me.  I would like to make a shout-out now to my friend Sara Stanford and thank her for the good advice to bring an extra shirt and underwear in my carry-on just in case such an occasion arose.  Hopefully it will be coming today to my address…hopefully, Because my bag did not come I had to fill out paper work which took about a half an hour, leaving me 30 minutes to get to the station, purchase my ticket and get on the train.  After much confusion and some running (thank goodness I didn’t have my luggage I guess!), I got on the train and half-slept all the way to Bordeaux where I met my family.  Mr. And Mme. Michaud are wonderful! They are very nice and speak slowly to me so that I can understand them.  I am also living with two French high school boys, Jean-Lucien and Andreá.  Jean-Lucien speaks some English and was able to help me out last night at dinner.  Dinner was interesting…delicious and interesting.  There was a lot of cheese, and a lot of things that I had no idea what they were, but they were delicious and I hadn’t eaten for a few hours so I was grateful.  I have a very busy day ahead of me now, hopefully my internet will be working later and my luggage will come. 

Au revoir!
