No News is Good News

Sorry for being so MIA for the past months. To be honest, it is because I have been too bus
y enjoying myself!

Now I realise I should have written more often because it is impossible to put into words everything I have done and experienced in the past few months. Re-reading my last post, I can't believe how much has changed in such a short time.

I am so lucky to be getting along well with my Aupair family. I love my kids and now they have

gotten to know me everything is a thousand

times easier. Zoe is a typical 12yr old girl with all the good and bad points that come with being one, Irene is a little tomboyish but always has something funny to say and Tobie is the cutest chatterbox 4yr old, although I can only play so much lego at a time.

In short, throughout the last two or so months I have passed a birthday under the Eiffel tower, became a child again at Paris Disneyland, spent a weekend in Amsterdam with great friends and been swimming and hiking in Corsica. And those are just the major things. I have been exploring the different Arrondissements with new friends and have been learning and improving my french. Yes, this is spaced between hours of colouring badly drawn cars with Tobie and arguing with children to sit at the table, but I wouldn't give it up for anything.

I can't believe it is almost Christmas already. Christmas decorations and markets are going up and the days are starting to get colder. I have so much planned for the next few months and am so excited! Time really does fly when you are having fun, and I only have 2 and a bit months until I will be home in the hot Australian summer. It's nowhere near enough time to see all the thinks in Paris left on my list but I will make the most of it while it lasts.

A bientôt, mes amis

Love Sarah
