It's finally sunny and warm! Today I'm going to work on contacting people at Strasbourg to iron out the details of the French class and the welcome meeting Monday. I'm going to set up a local bank account tomorrow and will deal with a phone in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to email everyone (and receive calls) soon!
After lunch, I wandered around town more (seems to be a standard theme here, eat, wander, search for Internet, sleep). I walked a full loop around campus and then followed the river Ill halfway around the island in the middle of town. After a cappuccino and a bit of reading at a cafe I made my way back, following the river along the island once again. It is really neat to see the paths along the river, it reminds me of the Broad Ripple Canal but in the middle if a city, and more propper walkways. The city really does rise out of the banks of the river.
Tonight we're hoping to grab dinner with the Canadian group, we'll see if we can run into them. The day has seemed to go quite slowly, but I just noticed that I had been walking almost 3 hours... Millitary time is still taking some getting used to...
Soundtrack: Sound Tribe Sector 9. Ratatat also, during my quick layabout before dinner.

In stark contrast to Indianapolis where it was gray and dismal until afternoon. Melinda and Joe Rivelli and their five boys came to the house after 5:30 pm Mass and we built a bon fire and roasted hot dogs and marsh mellows. Wan Seung put up the badmitton net and the children played nonstop. (South Korea won 3-0) Patrick O'Connor stopped by with Hazel and she feasted on marsh mellows. We had a great time. Tomorrow is Labor Day and your first day of classes. Enjoy. We will relax. (Golden Girls plays non-stop on Lifetime starting at 8:00 a.m.)
