Bonjour à France! Nous sommes arrivé a 3h aujourd hui. At least I think I,ve spelled that right! We arrived in Strasburg (by way of Frankfurt) at about 3 o,clock Saturday afternoon their time. That woud be about 9 or so there. Flight fro, Frankfurt was the LONGGGGGEEEESSSSSTTT! It took a full 8 hours in the air- far longer than we anticipated. Huge plane; complete with screaming babies! Our kids have been wonderful so far, and I am anticipating a great weekend with my family. Sebastien is about 15 years old; WAY big into sports and wrestling (yes... "western" style throw 'em on the matt 'n fall on top of 'em" type wrestling! Annais is a beautiful an quite tall 2O year-old who is also very active in basketball. Cathie, the mom, and Joel the Dad round out the familly- all wonderfully kind to a nearly french-illiterate Americain. I am in small village called Ekbolsheim 5forgive the spelling!) It is a beautiful and VERY old part of Strasburg; If Sebastien can help me upload pics from my camera later tonight, you will get to see a few of the quaint old building structures. For Matt ,y son- the archetecture is AMAZING! I will try to bring really good pictures home for you to draw. Got to run for now- its almost dinner. And learning to type on a french keyboard is incredibly taxing!!!! Many letters in different places!
Blessings from France!
