Bonjour!!!!

Salut,

I am Katie but my friends know me as K8e. I am just an ordinary girl with an extraordinary opportinity. I have been living in France since January of 2007. I have been alot of places, met alot of people and done a lot of things. But none of them as exciting as what tomorrow may bring. Enjoy and feel free to let me know you stopped by.

Getting into the swing of things.

Here are just three pictures from my trip around the city this weekend. The blogger is acting funny and wont let me put any more up. I just wanted you all to get a chance to see a taste of the city I now call home.


This is just a random wall that is built into the mountain. I think it will be a goal of mine to find out exactly what it is.

One of the many churches in the city. You can see behind it on the right the Cathedral.


This is the Abbey St. Ampere. So beautiful.
Ok well I hope that you are all well. But I guess I am wondering who is reading this. I know that members of my family are but I have not heard from any of the Girl Scouts since I left Lubbock. Oh well i am sure they are quite busy doing exciting things.
Have a wonderful week.

My first days in France

well my travels have hit their skids and I am here in France. It was quite difficult getting the apartment squared away. When I first moved in the heat did not work nor the toilet or the cold water. Talk about overwhelming when you do not know the language at all. But it is all coming together and in a few hours classes will begin for the semester.

I am certain that once classes begin and I am able to meet more people I will be more comfortable here. It is still very hard to believe that I am in France. There are some differences that are constant reminders that i am not in the states any more.

My goal is to put some pictures of my apartment and the area up in the next few days..

Be Well
