Does anyone have any Grey Poupon??

I have safely arrived in Paris and will be moving in with my host family today. I am still jetlagged, so quite tired today, but am still very excited about everything I'm seeing, learning, and experiencing. The directrice of the program - Madame Schneersohn - has been so very helpful with all problems and concerns and has been making sure we are fed plenty of good wine, cheese, and fruit tart.

I had my first café au lait yesterday with my roommate and it was wonderful. I could speak as much as I needed to for the waiter to understand, and it was absolutely one of the coolest feelings to be able to feel like I'm starting to fit in. Being American is not nearly as hard as most people think it is - as many French people (I think) are simply happy to see that I'm trying my best and being polite in the process.

I will keep you posted later! I must be going!

Au revoir et avez-vous une bonne jounée!
