France.....

Here are some photos from our experience here in France.

We are staying with Jeremiah's friend Thomas.
Here is Thomas:
Thomas has a flat in a little town called Tournan en Brie. It's about 30 minutes from Paris and quite cute.
We arrived here on Wednesday and our first day alone at Thomas's flat proved to be interesting.
We haven't had to spend much time on our own because Thomas does not work that often. A long day of work seems to be no more than 5 hours with an hour long lunch.
But on Thursday we had some time to wash some clothes and explore Tournan a little bit.
To make a long story short, doing laundry proved to be more difficult than we anticipated. After putting a load in the wash we were looking for the keys to Thomas's flat and we finally found them. They were in the machine. Simple, just stop the machine and liberate them.
Here is a picture of Jeremiah trying to communicate with the washing machine.

After 30 minutes or so of talking to the machine and trying to understand all of the settings, we were able to stop the machine and get the keys.
We have eaten so much cheese. I think that I might literally burst from it all. Don't get me wrong, the cheese here is amazing and I want to eat it whenever it's available, but we literally eat cheese and or some sort of dairy for every meal.
On Friday we had cheese with breakfast, pasta with tons of cheese for lunch, dinner included the following: tomato and mozzarella salad, a quiche Lorraine, and then chicken cooked in a creamy white wine sauce. Dinner was followed by a plate of cheese that included chevre, camembert, and a cheese that looked like cheddar but tasted a million times better. And for desert, cheesecake. Bien sur (but of course).


Here are some photos from our experience here in France.
We have Jeremiah and Thomas playing music with Antoine. Antoine is Thomas's son. He is 6 months and the happiest little baby.
