Mon apartement ici est grand et joli!

I know it's been some time since my last entry, but my reason for that is that I've been sick the past week.  What started out as a cold last week turned into a 3 hour trip to the doctor's office and one diagnosis of a lung infection... and lots of penicillin.

Now I am feeling better (no more high fever, hooray!), except for a bad cough.  Last year I had a very similar cough at this time, and I remember spraining a muscle in my ribs which hurt very bad.  Let's hope my French sickness is kinder to me than my American one!

Over the weekend, when I was feeling well enough to walk around, I emerged from my bedroom... only to find the apartment empty.  "What great news!" I thought to myself, "I can finally snap some photos of the apartment to put on my blog!"  Yes, I actually thought something like that.  I think I was still hazy from a fever, because I know that that is really cheesy.

So, without further ado, here are some pictures of my apartment:

 Here is the bathroom that I share with the kids. You'll see that the bidet is filled with children's bath toys, rather than it's actual purpose (which I still don't really understand...)  I love how huge the bathroom is.

 This is the living room.  It's actually even bigger than this (and at the time, there was a huge cardboard box lying on the floor that had been cut up completely... I missed a lot of crazy things while I was napping, I guess!)

 This is the dining room.  We've only ever used it once (when my host family had Mathieu over for dinner).  Normally it's more of a craft table where the kids play or do homework.

Here is the kitchen!  I sit in the seat closest to the door/windows. 












And the only thing I did last week (besides sleep, lol) was... visit the Notre Dame church (there is more than one in France, which I didn't actually realize until I got here, haha):

The second picture shows an altar that was pretty much located inside a cave, which the photo doesn't truly do justice.

Ok, I'm off to make some tea and soothe this cough of mine! :)  À bientôt!
