Bienvenue 2 Notre Blog

Hi family and frirends,
Inevitably, we'll be using lots of English/French (Engench?) here.
Pictures are coming soon, we just don't have many since today is the first sunny day here.
But weather is hardly symbolic, because all's been perfect, so far. We've heard countless horror stories about how the French will be aloof, rude and unwilling to speak English. That finding an apartment and getting a bank account would involve endless bureaucracy. That the streets would be dirty, with dogs pooping everywhere.
Instead, we were able to get an affordable, furnished apartment in the exact corner of the city center--and yet it's quiet because we're in a sort of back/middle area of an enormous building. We got a bank account set up through our two very helpful profs at our school. The French people always say hi and bye to each other when they're just passing in the halls, and every time we struggle with the language, they go Engench, much to the retardation of our French learning. And we've eaten pate off the dog-free sidewalks. Parfait.
Until later, here's some photos pre-France (NV, NYC, CA), and some pictures of our room and of Annalise getting fat.
