First Week in France

I've now finished my first week in Southern France. I just have to say that it's really hot. We bought Popsicles to eat on the way home from the grocery store one day, and they were very soft by the time we left the store. Other than that, I am slightly annoyed at the length of meals here, and some days i wish never to see another vegetable. Especially the night eggplant appeared in the supper. There is alot of fruit here though, which is nice. François and his dad shook the plums out of their plum tree this evening. I have just gotten a new phone number, From Canada dial 01133689288684 or text message. In case there are any misplaced 'q's or semi colons where an 'm' would have been better, I'm going to point out that I'll probably be typing on a french keyboard for awhile. I've been swimming in the Mediteranian a couple of times, and wandered around Montpellier. On the way down here from Paris we drove over the tallest viaduct in the world.
