Well, my time in France has come to an end. Tomorrow morning I leave for London.
After all the excitement in Switzerland it was nice to just come back to Beuvry and spend my last week here just hanging around the town. I spent an afternoon in Arras, took in some French Cinema, went to the Bric Brac market, discovered a great little teahouse/bar called the Quiltie Quiltie (pronounced kitty kitty), and had my first european McDonalds experience (hopefully to be my last). Oh, and I can also add cow tongue to the list of weird things I have eaten.
It is bittersweet to be leaving Beuvry and my new host family. I have truely enjoyed my time in France and being a part of the Sevette family. And although the teaching portion of things didn't go quite as had hoped, I still learned a lot from the experience.
Eric, Martine, David, William, Robin and Lea: Thank you for welcoming me into you home and into your family. There is an amazing spirit and energy in your family that I am so happy to have been a part of, even if only for a short period of time. I will miss Robin's smile, Lea's sass, William's sarcasim, David's constant questions, Martine's cooking and Eric's patience. I won't miss that song (your know which one) playing on repeat for hours! :) I will see you all in June before I head back to the States.
And so know the second part of my journey begins - 4 days in London and then off to Wales for two weeks.
Bonne niut. (good night)
