Premier Jour

Bonjour! I arrived in Strasbourg, France yesterday around 4:30 local time. C'est magnifique! My host mom was not home which was nice because it gave me some time to relax and unpack. I put on a CD that I (luckily, since my computer can't be plugged in yet) had decided to bring at the last minute and moved into my room. The apartment is beautiful! I'll put up some pictures on facebook soon (and maybe here if I can). I have a large room with my own balcony! When my host-mom, Hélène, arrived with her boyfriend, Wolfgang (she was picking him up from the airport, he's from Berlin) we had a delicious dinner of ham and potatoes with delicious red wine. Just when I thought I was full, she brought out the cheese! And she taught me how to eat it with bread the proper French way :) Dinner conversation was interesting because I speak english and french, Hélène speaks french and german, and Wolfgang speaks english and german! After the cheese, when I thought I was REALLY stuffed, she brought out desert! And it was so delicious I couldn't refuse; eclaires in chocolate sauce! mmm
After that not much happened except her letting me borrow her laptop until I can get an adapter. Then I visited with people back home, took a shower and went to sleep.
My host mom is up and moving around in the kitchen so I'm going to go get some petit déjeuner (breakfast). Next time I'll tell about the craziness of french keyboards and bathrooms :)
A bientôt!
