Ah, the food and wine!
We've been enjoying the two weeks we have before Howard goes to work. Between setting up our house, exploring, getting lost, getting found, eating great food and drinking great wine, there just isn't much time left in a day. The wine is very cheap and very French. The food has been wonderful. We already have about five favorite restaurants! We have lots of French, Belgium, Italian, Greek, Japanese and Chinese restaurants in the general area. We haven't found any Mexican restaurants yet but a corner store carries some American food. We bought refried beans and taco shells the other day and made our own!
There are a few things that we can't quite yet find in the stores but at this point, it is hard to know if that is because we can't read the labels or because they can't be found.
In October I go on a Champagne tour in France with the Women's Club. Sounds like fun, heh?

Hello, I really loved reading your story so far...will be popping in to see how things are going from time to time. I am from South Africa and moved to Germany 20 months ago, so I know all what you are talking about. I do miss home, my family and friends, and like you I dont speak the language but will be starting beginners lessons next month as I have seen with the language I am not going to settle in.
I have a blog as well, not sure if from this you will be able to get into it as I am a new blogger myself and not sure how this all works.
Good luck with settling in, your home is beautiful that you are staying in now...and I would really be intereted to hear what made you decide to move.
All the best
Marcelle
