The Château d'If exists...

...and I am totally planning a visit!  (you know, it's the prison from The Count of Monte Cristo!)

This, my friends, is Nancy

L'arrêté de nomination à Nancy!

Salut!

I wanted to make you all aware that I am now in possession of a mildly-confusing document which says that I can work in France!  I've been posted in Nancy (which totally brings back memories of reading Nancy Drew stories...)

Anyway, this is when the real fun begins--contacting schools, residences, visa appointments...

Just another day in the life of :)

Bienvenue!

I finally decided to create a single blog to document all of my experiences in France.  In 2010, my sister and I worked on a joint blog to document our study abroad experiences in Canterbury, UK, but we both decided that for this next adventure, we need to write on our own blogs.

I am still waiting on my arrêté de nomination from the French government--it's my work contract.  So until then, I don't even know which town I'm going to be in!

I look forward to sharing this adventure with you!  Stop by often!

Cheers!
