Day one of School....











I survived! ;o)
They fed us coffee and croissants on our morning break, and a true french spread for lunch, complete with red wine. AT SCHOOL!!! :D It's going to be very challenging, but that's why I'm here, to bring my brain back from the state of mush it was in. There are actually 4 americans in the program--I met the other 2 today, then there's Dami and me. (Kristin, I'm sure you'll appreciate the pic--it's not 'thumbs up', it's our 'first day')
I spent Saturday in Paris with Max, (current student) Olivia, (alum that lives just down the street from the arc), and Dami. We had lunch at a cafe in Marais, next to the Place des Vosges. Later we went to Sacre-Coeur in Montmartre (pic of the church) and spent the rest of the day on the grass drinking wine, listening to a band and enjoying the view of all of Paris from high on the hill. After dark we went to Pegale and saw Moulin Rouge.
Today was school and now I'm tired and going to bed, but I wanted to send a quick update and pics.
XOXOXO

So Happy you are there and it seems like you are loving it. I love the wine there. It is much better than the wines here, don't you think? This blog thing is new to me. It is kind of cool I miss you honey.

XOXOXOX

Darling Marissa,

You look great. Your classes sound terrific -- maybe we'll join you!

Thanks for the "thumbs up" comment . . . it will all make sense sooner than you think!

How's the French coming? How about the French Kissing? Tee hee. Inquiring minds want to know.

Check your email -- we'll send more information from home.

Keep the pictures coming -- glad to see you have a blanket? It's the little things . . . n'est-ce pas?

Gros Bisous,
K & S
