I'm leaving for Paris

Current song: "Leaving for Paris" -Rufus Wainwright. If you don't know it, check it out. It's in my head right now.

Anyways, my family arrived safely (if not late) on Friday. Translating is very tiring, but doable. We had a tapas-like dinner with my family here in Miramas and then made our way to the hotel in Avignon. It's apparently one of the two nicest hotels in the city, it's very pretty. Though, I do have to admit, it's very odd sleeping in a hotel when my "house" is so close.

Friday night, took Jess out with Rémy. We did a night walking tour of the city and then stopped to have drinks at the pub. I was pleasantly surprised/impressed with the fact that Rémy speaks English REALLY well.

Today, we're leaving for Paris (in an hour). I haven't really been to Paris since I was 8, so I'm looking forward to it.

I'll post pictures later.

PS- I was amused yesterday: In walking around the city with Jessica and Dad, we managed to run into one of my remaining friends in Avignon (who actually lives here), Marie. Avignon = small town, even when I only have 4 friends here, I still see them. Love it.
