My home in France

I finally moved in with the family I'll be living with while teaching: the Quétels. They have a house just outside Guérande in the countryside. There is a rabbit/lawnmower in the backyard named Monsieur Moustache, a horse across the street, and a deer-breeding farm a few houses down. The highschool is about fifteen minutes away by bicycle (or horse if I can swipe the neighbor's), so the commute isn't too bad. My job officially starts in two days on Wednesday, October 1st; then I have an orientation in Nantes on the 3rd. After that things should settle in to a routine.

Sailing

Today I went sailing. The family I am staying with owns a sailboat and they invited me to go out for a bit. Sylvain (the father) let me steer and showed me how to keep the wind in the sails. Then I got seasick and vomited all over him.

...No I'm just kidding. I didn't get seasick. heh heh. But seriously, it was really fun.
