snuck some photos of my homestay - it's so beautiful and french with large golden-framed mirrors and oil paintings that cover the wall (which reminds me of my grandparent's home, Derby Grange). the best part is that i have my own room with a tiny bathroom attached. the couple we live with are older and seem like such kind souls - i already feel so comfortable. but they don't speak a lot of english so it's a bit hard to communicate sometimes. they have a granddaughter who is also living with us. she is our age and speaks english well so if we really need to communicate something she can translate. i'm excited to improve on my french and be able to get to know them better on my own though!
we are in the 7th district right between the notre dame and the eiffel tower - doesn't get any better than that. we are neighbors with the most beautiful cathedral and only a couple blocks away from a large, beautiful park which i plan to spend lots of time at once it warms up a bit. so far everything has been a bit overwhelming - at this point, i'm physically and mentally exhausted and praying that i won't get sick so that i can fully enjoy the busy week of activities ahead.
bonsoir -- xo
