On Wednesday I went skiing with the ladies of the house. It was nice because we didn't have to worry about catching a bus or anything. The day was great and the view was amazing. Every other day of the week it has been really rainy but for that day the weather was really really nice. Actually Mme J is really awesome at skiing, she does blacks, powder, backflips...well not the backflips but she still is pretty good. It was the third time skiing for my Chinese sidekick of silliness. Yet she had improved a lot this round. Mme J really the the trick to set her in line, well in wedge rather.
After the great day of skiing we went to the Town of Beaufort, home of some of the best cheese in France. We went to the cheese factory and did a mini self tour. After venturing through the cave we bought some cheese. The cheese itself was beautiful and strong, I guess that's where it gets its name from, Beaufort.
My roommate returned from a trip solo to Egypt. He said that he learned a lot from that trip and wouldn't want to travel alone again. He was really glad he was able to see the pyramids and the Nile. Yet he spent a little more than he wanted to. He even spent some time with a French couple that he met. It is nice to know that he got some French practice in.
It is crazy to see how fast time is passing here. Right now life is actually seeming to be a bit similar to being in the US. There is still a lot that I don't understand on a daily basis yet the overall foreigness is a lot less foreign. Time flies when you study grammar everyday; add in a bit of fun too!
