Wait, vacation is over already?
I meant to post sooner, but I've been busy doing everything I've been putting off all vacation. Last night I stayed up until about two in the morning cleaning my room (that I had to stay up so late should give you an idea of how messy it was), today I finally did my laundry, and right now I'm putting together a lesson plan for my classes tomorrow. I'm almost looking forward to school starting again because it means two of meals will prepared for me, and Nathalie will take us shopping and deliver our mail again. And hopefully one of the school repairmen will do something about our shower. Heather was taking a shower last week when the showerhead suddenly broke in her hand. We don't know how to fix it, and it's the school's responsibility anyway, so since then we've basically been showering with a hose.
My trip to Paris on Friday was very nice. I visited the Mémorial de la Shoah (the Holocaust Museum), which I enjoyed, if I can say that without sounding morbid. I also took a long walk along the Seine and around the premier arrondissement, which is the richest neighborhood in Paris. I happened to find a street full of pet stores, most of them selling pedigree puppies for hundreds of euros, and of course I had to go in every one and look at all the animals. The only scary moment came when I got distracted by a distant view of the Eiffel Tower while crossing the street and enormous bus passed inches in front of my face.
