Just a quick note to share a funny story. We were shopping at Trader Joe's tonight, and our 11 year old daughter Lindsey saw some Fourth of July bunting. "Look, Dad," she blurted out, "they decorated for Bastille Day!" Obviously, our daughter is already embracing the French holidays. Bastille Day, commemorating the storming of the Bastille in Paris during the French Revolution, is celebrated in France on July 14. The French flag is made up of equal portions of red, white, and blue, so the tri-paneled bunting made perfect sense to her. (Plus, there was a display of French cheeses right nearby!)
This week will be a whirlwind of packing, goodbyes, and last-minute preparations, so the blog posts will be short and sweet. I'm really looking forward to being able to post pictures of our beautiful new city soon.
Lord willing, we'll arrive on French soil July 18!
You are really educating us. Thanks.
