One of my biggest observations of the last few weeks is that yes, there really are many gorgeous French women! I don't know what it is. Is is the way they dress? The way they carry themselves and are so slender? Or the fact that so many of them wear heels and look amazing in them? I have never thought this on past trips but now that I am trying to blend in and be like them and am failing miserably, I realize just how stunning some of them are. Oh yes, and the men are not bad either!
Perhaps this is why I have always had a love/hate relationship for the French. I love so much about this country and the people but dislike so much at the same time. Now, quite surprisingly, that I am living amongst them, I am actually gaining an appreciation for them.
Now onto the Tai girls and our activities.
Both Tai girls seem to be adjusting. I can tell that they are having some tough moments with school and missing home. Nathalie has gone from a class of 18 at home to a class of 31 with over 160 kids in grade 6. Gabrielle has gone from a small class as well to a class of 25 with over 75 kids in grade 3. The girls are attending two different schools.
Last Saturday was spent at La Palais de la Decouverte (Palace of Discovery). This is a science museum in a stunning building built in 1937 for the Universal Exposition full of hands on experiments and demonstrations. I was not a big fan of the rat maze while the girls loved taking pictures of the big fat dirty rat!
The boys loved the Palais de la Decouverte. They had cool exhibits on Tsunamis and earthquakes when we were there. Was the termite exhibit still there?
ReplyDeleteYOu'd probably be surprised at how much you really do blend in with the Parisians. I think it's less about the outer coverings and high heels and more about attitude and carriage.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like so much fun exploring with the girls! Happy Birthday Nathalie!
