I am in Thionville, France. It is a city of about 45,000 inhabitants (ooo big word!) and is located in the Moselle region (northeast France) which is near Luxembourg and Germany! I have had three host families. I have seen so many wonderous people, places and things so far. If one couldn't guess, I am very happy to be given this opportunity. If all goes well, I will be back in the States in the middle of July! I want to thank my mother, who I hope will check this every day even if I don't post it every day. I love you all and I hope you can feel the joy of France through me! That sounds lame,... full info

Various desserts on Christmas!

Christmas

This is how the table was set for Christmas :)

Presents!

Everyone opens presents on the 24th

Happy Holidays!

Bouche de Noël

A traditional cake. It means 'christmas log'. It is always very fancy, and sometimes made of ice cream!

Luxembourg

This is one old street in Luxembourg. It reminded me of London. We went to Lux the last week in December.

Luxembourg-Ville

City of Luxembourg

Old and New

Its cool to see the brand new banks right next to the old houses!

Luxembourgois

The language of Luxembourg. Its not German, but its not French. Its the mixture of the two. They use accent marks from both languages! Basically, it says thank you for coming :)

Snow

Yes, here too, but as you can see, its not nearly as much :)

Chillin

Beach chairs on the snow. You could actually sit in them!! At Snowhall

Theatre Hallway

The hall in Charlemagne that is just for theatre! So cool!

your blog
I took the liberty of sending your blog on to some other teachers. I always enjoy reading about your adventures. I know you probably can't talk about it but I really hope your second host family experience is going well. Sometimes it is so hard to adjust to a big change like a host family. But you have already reached the 1/2 point mark and your year is flying by ! Can't wait to hear more about it all when you get back. You probably know that Ian is in Europe on tour right now. I believe he is in Vienna today. Hard knock life for y'all. all for now - love, Sue Alice (Ian's Mom)

WOW
Wow, is all I can say when reading your blog. I know you must miss home, but the experiences you are telling about are awesome. Connection with other people is so cool. Your writings are very descriptive of the situation and I am very excited for you. Hopefully you are getting along ok with the home sick blues because you are busy. Not too much time left. I am so proud of you. Take care, Marlene From Rice Lake Rotary and neighborhood.
