Hello from Grenoble!

I don't have much time to be online this week, but I just wanted to post to say that I'm here in Grenoble. I'm staying with a colleague who has a large (4 bedroom!) flat in the heart of the city, within easy walking distance to everywhere I need to be this week. I spent today observing math and English classes in the French equivalent of a high school, which was very interesting.

I'm learning a lot of French as well. A couple of months ago I could barely say more than hello, and I can follow quite a bit of conversation now and even manage to say things here and there. I have a lot to learn, obviously, but I think I probably will after a week of having to get around in French!

That's all I have time for at the moment - I have to go meet everyone for a tram ride and dinner. I'll try to post more later. :-)

Hi,

I am glad you are safe and sound. It sounds like you will have a wonderful time. I have a new email address... You will be proud of me as I now have DSL. I have purchased a wireless router but I am confused on how to install. I will probably try later in the week to install...

I can't wait to hear more about your trip... Have a wonderful time and I am sure you are on the "count down" to the Tonys!!!

Love you so much,

Mom

Yay, DSL! I hope you manage to get the wireless router installed soon, because I know you're going to love having wireless at home. You'll wonder how you got along without it!
