Well, it's been a couple days...and I've officially purchased my flight to Italy! I am going on October 31st and returning Nov 5th. And yes, my flight, roundtrip, was 53 Euro! That's about $65 for a roundtrip flight to another fashion capital of the world! I am flying into Milan, then getting a train to Torino....maybe go to Venice for a day or two...then fly out of Milan back to Paris. I hope to see some of Milan at least for a few hours while I'm there! I am very excited, as this will be my first trip to ANOTHER country, another reason to use my passport. It's great to go somewhere and have free lodging, and my travel in total should be just around 100 Euro, give or take a few, in the end. It's also really cool that Virginie is giving me abotu 10 days off work to take this trip, and have Stacey come visit me here from Italy the same week! I am starting to put everyone's visits on my calendar, so that is nice...BECAUSE I am getting a little lonely...really just on the week day nights after work when it's too late to go into the city...things like that...
Anyways...today I worked in the morning, and was free after lunch...I walked down to the main street in Bougival where I had an appointment to set up my bank account (the 2nd attempt). It was a good walk, especially after being sick and needing some fresh air. I also went to La Defense quickly to pick up a small birthday gift and card for my brother...it was a good afternoon...I babysat the kids tonight for a couple hours and put them to bed...
There are always a few bumps in the day...behavior issues, some small stresses, things like that....but now that I am feeling better it's not so bad. The parents are very busy, taking on a lot of responsibilities...even putting their house up for sale (but I just found out we wouldn't be moving til next June), so it doesn't really effect me...except that the house and studio need to be clean every day for visitors! We've already had 2 interested buyers today and they just put the house on the market this morning!!!
I take my French exam on Thursday...so I need to do some reading/writing beforehand to prepare. I believe I start my classes on Monday...and I'm ready for a change in my daily schedule.
ok gotta make a quick exit....

Laura if you need a recommendation for a place to say in Venice, Jason and I had a wonderful experience at Albergo Doni. And it was literally a 2 minute walk from St. Mark's Square --- a PERFECT location. We walked by the Bridge of Sighs every time we came or went. :) I'll send you the webpage and info if you want it.
