First week in Lalaland

It has been a week since I left Oregon. I have the feeling this first week lasted for ever, probably because I moved a lot. Last Wednesday I went to see Mee, Henri and Margot who is now 9 months old and who is talking a lot ;) I went to Lyon too, got a hair-cut… the same I had last Christmas.

I had no problem readjusting to wine and food so far ;) France is definitely the place to go if you’re looking for good food. I forgot about the French grocery stores when I was living in the US and I’m pretty amazed by the variety and choice we have here.
The boxes I sent a few weeks ago are arriving slowly. I now almost have all my pairs of shoes (can’t live with only two ;)). However, coming back here is really weird. After having spent just 3 years on the US west coast, I feel like I always lived there. I almost totally forgot that I lived in France for 22 years before! I’m still thinking and dreaming in English and I’m looking for my words in French… There are other few things that haven’t changed either: I’m still spending a tremendous number of hours on my computer and I’m still watching CNN while having breakfast. But I really miss the people (God bless Internet, msn and Skype) and the places very bad.
Other than that I’m leaving tomorrow morning for Nantes with Tom to see Dad and Alex. I’ll post a few pics of Switzerland pretty soon.
