Hello Everyone! Well this week has been full of nice things and not so nice things. The Place we are staying at with the three girls is nice, but one of the girls seems quite cold to us, so we have been made to feel very uncomfortable at times :s . But the other 2 […]

Sunday, January 9th, 2011

Fantastic news: We got the place we wanted right in le centre ville on cours Jean Jacques!!!
