Our time with Eric & Carol has been an amazing experience with a French family, there has been cheese and cheese and more cheese, so much laughter, wine and my french has really improved. Eric has been saying I have a great french accent - mmm not sure about that but it does give me encouragement. Its funny how we teach each other, I speak in French/English to he and he speaks English/French to me and we all learn, by the end of the 12 days we have all improved out of sight. Rod built a fabulous deck for them and I painted a fence - downside was the fence was in a bit of a mossy haven, I didn't get too hammered by the mossies!!
We visited the Miramas market - there was loads of fruit, veg and cheap clothes, these type of markets are all over France and move to different towns on different days. Well it wouldn't be right if we didn't have our coffee - so espresso please - oh and another pain au chocolat tasting!!!
We arrived as strangers and left as friends, what wonderful people that have had some really bad times with Eric having had an extremely bad accident, I think Carol is a superwoman holding their world together and Eric is a superman to - to not give up on getting himself back to normal a walking miracle.
What a great experience, was great to meet Chris and hopefully we will catch up with him in Vancouver - one day.
