Well, here I am on my own. Annette left this morning for Bali....well, Paris first, then Bali and I am here getting settled in. I went for a long walk to the neighboring town and up into the hills behind it. It is beautiful around here.

Last night I was skyping w/ my sister and she asked how big Ganges was....so i googled it and aparently there are 3, 358 people living here....3,359 now, ha! It is a small little town surrounded by what looks like limestone hills and a river running thru...only 1 big grocery store and besides that the market day is Friday and there are many little boulangerie (bakery) and charcuterie (butchers) as well as green grocers and cafes. Out my window I have a view of the main church in town and the hills surrounding. Also, I ahve about the cutest little pony you ever did see in the backyard of the neighbor's house. Aparently the daughter had leukemia so they got it for her. Sje is better now, grown and gone, but they still have the pony.

I might be paraniod but I have the feeling I stick out here, prob doesn't help that I am taking pics of cabbage and pigs.

On my way home I did my first shop at Super U. It is pretty awesome because even though it is a (relatively) big store, they stress having locally grown produce, cheese, wine and other stuff. I got 2 types of cheese at the massive cheese counter, some beautiful lettuce, apples, wine and chocolate...all a girl needs.

Tonight the plan is to clean up the kitchen a bit, get it ready for some french-american fusion cooking. Annette showed me how to make yogurt in the yogurt machine so tonight I am going to try to do that solo. How awesome is that, to make your own yogurt? I want to bring a machine home. Also found out last night that I cannot stream netflix or hulu but youtube is working so I can listen to music and rock out.... awesome. okay...I am going to make playlist then clean.

Tomorrow...car adventure. My borther advised me on how to mayke my blog more interesting so just you all watch out....excitement is on the way.....bisous!
