Kids in France

The kids have been great at adjusting to their new living conditions.  Having no yard is kind of difficult; there's even very little open space in the village and virtually nothing green.  The long-life milk was a momentary concern but we seem to have survived.

They've all experienced ordering things on their own.  Leigha and Cecilia have been to a few stores.  Alex bought donuts (beignets) for us yesterday.  Tamsin has embraced the event and is "bonjour"ing everyone she sees.  Last night there was a concert in the Place de 14 Juillet and Tamsin was running around with a little French girl (at 11pm).

Jet lag hasn't seemed much of an issue but it might help that we stay up until midnight every night; the sun doesn't set until 9:30.  Everyone sleeps late but not as late as Leigha.  Tamsin loves waking her up.

Everyone also was excellent at the beach yesterday.  The 50yo with only a flesh-colored thong bottom was eye-opening but for the most part people were pretty clothed.  Alex only blushed a few times.

Today we're off to Agde, a 2000yo village.
