Joe and Shona approach the château de Vougeot, originally uploaded by Rachel Tapley.
So, there’s a photo from Burgundy, and now we’re off to Provence for the vacation!
This game is all the rage among English teaching assistants, and since I have been told to play more games with my students (listening to Feist is not appropriate in class, but games are, for whatever reason), I tried it this week.
The Wednesday morning volunteer group was amazing. I feel bad that I don’t […]
Here is another tedious post on the minutiae of our life in France, where we have a lovely futon in our apartment that our real friends are invited to sleep on.
We are now officially on track to become legal residents of France. That doesn’t sound like much, but it required the gathering of much […]
Next weekend is the beginning of the Toussaint vacation, and Joe and I will head south to Provence.
The plan is, roughly, Marseille (Hotel Péron), Moustiers Ste Marie/Gorges du Verdon (Hotel Clos des Iris), Arles/the Camargue (Hotel Le Constantin), and Nîmes (Hotel Central).
It’s too bad we’re not rich enough to stay in Alain Ducasse’s hotel, La […]
Here are some of the funnier things I was asked in my first few classes, when the students were supposed to be interviewing me.
Will you sing the national anthem? (I did. But only the parts I could remember, which amounted to about two verses.)

Indeed, restaurant. We went to Les Deux Fontaines (be warned, there is music). I had been there before when I was in Dijon with my family for two days. […]
Check out flickr to see my newly uploaded photos of our apartment, Dijon, and a hike we went on last week. And some of the many delicious pastries we have eaten.
And une petite histoire: I have met so many students that I can’t recognize all of them yet. They, on the other […]
We have the internet in the apartment, and I have a billion things to write about. It would be good if I had used my internet-less time to collect my thoughts and make paragraphs, but… tant pis. Let’s go backwards.
(1) Tonight the English department at Joe’s school took us out to dinner. […]
We have actually been here more than a week now, so I am sorry about the lack of posts. I cannot stand typing on French keyboards and WiFi (pronounced weefee here) is not readily available. But yesterday we braved the line at France Telecom, so soon (read: a week, maybe longer) our apartment will be […]
