past X days - notable:

Halllooo all,
another quick post. computer lab.
in recent news:
Louisa left to return to Germany. How selfish. Our last night was mildly family friendly all at her request which was quite surprising.
The next day, in honor, i went out to the lake where she stayed for the month. Also helped that there was a giant fair for every association in Dijon. Found the Dijon baseball team in order to inquire about a hat for my father. They only have adjustable hats, however, and for a true fan (as i know he will soon become) a fitted hat is the only way to go. Speaking of baseball - Dodgers are number 1 in NL west. From 4 games up to 2 but there's plenty of season left. And boston in 2nd place?? That will never do. So in other words it will be good if they beat LA in the AL West who is up by 21 games!!!??? how does that even happen.

In more frenchy news, I shipped off my computer yesterday but I had to find a box. Mireille didn't have one and told me to buy one. Buy a box??? Who buys a box??? So I walked down the street and went into every store until someone had one that I could have. They were all very nice. Good vocab practice.
The same day, I also carried a older (ok, legit old but really - not like our parents sort of middle age still climbing mountains and biking across europe age) woman's grocery bag for her because she had clearly decided to buy her entire wine, cheese, and rock supply for the next 8 years. She was nice and appreciative and we talked about Canada after she figured out that I was clearly not from her motherland.

Other than that, this week we don't have classes (surprise!! no, seriously) so we are all desperately looking for things to do. The other day Liz and I got on a different bus line and rode to the end. No great inspiration.
Today we are seeking out an orchard also accesible (supposedly) by bus. The key prerequisite. Also because we bought our year bus passes yesterday and that was a serious pile of cash to hand over in one go so I may or may not buy a tent and live accordingly. If Mireille is looking for me, I'm starting on the 1 line and increasing numerically.

blue sky poking out. Out of here.
