French Kiss
Bonjour!Jeez, just one comment on the last blog? I thought it was a good one...
Well, things have been nuts for me. I feel like a college student again, and I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. I have been hanging out with the other Americans and it has been awesome. They have been lots of fun, and are all really nice. I only regret we didn't start haning out sooner.
Yesterday, Trice and I went out to a privately-owned chateau with an American woman who lives here to try and help set up
their music system (looong story of how this came to be). It was really cool. It was an ancient castel, but was all set-up to have modern appliances and a pool. The people who own it are incredibly rich, and we had a good time poking 
around. After we were done there, we visted the huge, publicly owned castle in Langais. The American woman was nice enough to show us around and pay for us to see the castle. She also drove us to and from Tours. We had gotten up that morning at 7:30am to run errands, and after a day of sight-seeing and driving around, I was exhausted.
This was a shame because I was supposed to hang out with a guy here and ended up being 6 hours late because of the chateau excursion. And there is simply no excuse for six hours late. See, I am attempting the incredibly hard task of dating. Not only do I have no phone, etc, the guy doesn't speak English, and my French is only so-so. You think first dates are awkward in the US? Try one where you have no idea what the other person's standards, customs, etc. are, and you can barely talk to each other. I have no idea if I am being too forward, too shy, too anything. Needless to say, its not going so well. I have a tendency to get tired speaking French and zone out what he says, and he gets very angry when I do this. And with my accent, if he doesn't understand something I say, he usually just blows it off and I get annoyed and this too. I think it will be an incredibly short-lived relationship. Living in another country is weird.

Molly that was a very good post before this one. Well this one is good too. I did not have time to post because I was at your house with your family having a wonderful time eating pheasant and turkey...yummmm. We wished you were there.
I love your blogs, Molly......all of them and since I email in between didn't think you'd miss other comments. The pictures are great and I love castles. And don't sweat the guys.......will make it easier to leave if you can just stay irritated with them. :) love you...
So your subject line for this blog should have been "Lack of French Kiss".
You didn't learn the American woman's name?
And just think how hard a long distance relationship with said French boy would be. I mean seriously.
I want to meet your family. Their comments make them all sound cool.
