Below are 3 pics from Paris and 1 from St. Brieuc. I arrived in my t-shirt, pants that were slightly damp in places, and windbreaker. Yikes! But a good time was had by all...
Thinking of a certain Chevy Chase movie I asked if we could drive around the Arc de Triomphe. We did. I took a picture and it was raining.

Here is Agnès with her father, Jesus, at Sacré Coeur which means "Holy Heart." I have been told before that this place is called Montmartre or "Mount of the Martyr" because the first martyr in Gaulle/France was in fact martyred here.

This is Leobardo whom I was blessed to spend time with. If you didn't recognize it that's Notre Dame behind us - the one which didn't inspire the movie Rudy.

This is a little Catholic church in my current corner of St. Brieuc. It's surrounded by everything from a vegetable shop to a barber and a bar (which are not in the same building ha ha).

I out there, Jerry, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Pardon the Seinfeld shout out there. I don't even watch that show all that much but it's always on the commerical. Voilà some important first words from France, eh?

I have had so many funny/encouraging moments but this is the first time I am attempting to communicate any of them.

God is so good sums it up but I'd love to tell you that this can look quite crazy.
Here's a quick top 10 to update you (I credit this idea to Nathan, Cydil, and David Letterman):

10 - I met two other English teachers in Philly who are now in their respective parts of France.
9 - I doused my lap with my water on the plane, was given paper towels and told "It'll dry before arrival" - it did.
8 - I met a French friend of mine, Agnès, at the airport in Paris and we took a taxi to her family's apt.
7 - It's a lot colder in the north of France than KY.
6 - I met a Mexican monk named Leobardo who eats once a day and takes heart meds with wine.
5 - I was treated as an honored guest by Agnès' family and her dad's name is Jésus (he's a Spaniard).
4 - I saved about 25 bucks with my young people's discount for my train ticket.
3 - I had my first ever authentic English tea made by a native whose now living in France.
2 - I met a great group of students/young professionals at a seeker Bible study, went out with them and was stared at by a couple of them b/c of my expressive, loud nature. They still like me.
1 - I played volleyball at the beach as the sun was setting in 55° water and was more numb than "used to it".
