Home Away From Home

So, I thought I would post a few phots of where exactly it is that I am living....

This would be my bedroom. And I did find an english version of the first installment of the chronicles of narnia on the bok shelf and I have already read it.


This is the view out my window. If you notice, there is a little strem that runs right across the street.


This is the backyard of the Sevette's house. And yes that is an inclosed pool. It is still too cold for me to get in, but Lea and Robin have been a couple times. Hopefully before I leave it will be warm enough.


And this is the house. As you can tell, it is actually two houses that they have combined into one home. This is a pretty typical house for the north of France. The second window from the left on the second floor is my window.

There is currently a movie out here in France that is a huge deal called, "Bienvenue Chez Les Chtis". If you happen to see that it is playing anywhere in the Lou and have an hour to kill, check it out. The movie is shot in and is about the town that I live in. They are talking about doing a remake of it in America using a town in Texas.

Tomorrow: Bruges, Belgium.

That's funny, I saw a movie called IN BRUGES recently (I thought it was pretty awesome). There was this movie that was coming out in a few weeks back when I was in Paris in 2003 and there were ads for it EVERYWHERE, but I didn't stay in Europe long enough to check it out. I am pretty sure it was never released in the US, and it's not on DVD. Dang! I think it was called "Mais Qui A Tue Pamela Rose?"

Nicole! I just picked up the envelope that I got your Euros in at the bank, and lo and behold, a 5 euro bill was still in there! UGH! If it were worth it, I'd send it to you. That's so frustrating!. :(
