An American in France part 1

Will came to visit me for the holidays and we have had a great time so far. I have been playing tour guide and food aficianado of Montpellier and France in general. It's a difficult task but I am up for it. We have already been to the zoo. Here is Will next to the goats that got ridiculously close to the fence. If he could have gotten out, I think he would have! He was evil and a bit scary.

On Friday, Will came with me to school and watched me teach my little kids. He snuck this picture of me (below) teaching which I thought was super cute since one of my kids was raising his hand to answer. We had a little show and tell with Will at the end of class. They were super excited since he was so much taller than them and had a big Californian accent. They loved it and asked a lot of funny questions including: How tall are you? How much do you weigh? What fruit do you eat in California? What kind of vegetation is in California? What are the common flowers there? Do you know any famous people?

Will proceeded to tell the kids that he knew Britney Spears and drove a Ferrari. They loved it and I think half of them believed him.


After the zoo and school, we walked all around Montpellier with Cathy as a great tour guide as well. This is in the Peyrou park which gives you a great view of the city from above.
Here we are in front of the LED Christmas tree in downtown Montpellier enjoying the brisk air and huge throngs of people.
This billboard was for a movie called Agathe Clery. On top it says: "She is white. She is racist. She is going to be black." I thought this was a little politically incorrect and the preview didn't make it look any less politically incorrect. Now I am a bit interested to see it just because it didn't seem to really have a plot, just her turning black. Oh the French!
