Arrival

Hello everybody!
I thought that posting about my study abroad adventure would make it easy for people to keep track of me this semester. I'll try and post regularly but you can also email me if you feel as if there is a chance I fell off the face of the earth.

I have arrived safe and sound in Nantes and am currently sitting in the "my" room at my host family's house. I have successfully showered, napped, unpacked and created this blog. We'll see how I'm doing once the adrenaline wears off and I have to stumble through a dinner entirely in French.

Door goes out into the hall way that I share with a French student

The house is adorable. It's grey stone that is completely covered in ivy (Mom: think Urbana Free Library) and three stories high (I'm on the top level) with a beautiful walled garden in back. There are a lot of wooden floors and beautiful window.
