How will we ever readjust to a busy life?  We've settled in so nicely here.  I must have brought 4 or 5 pairs of shoes and have worn nothing but flip flops for weeks.  Life is simple here- much, much simpler than at home.  All of the shops close between 12 and 2:30.  Everyone takes a long lunch or heads home for lunch and a nap.  You have to ask for the bill at a restaurant.  The roads wind and so we drive slower.  Steven has to wake us all up (kids too) around 9 am.  We stay up late because it doesn't get dark until around 10:30 pm.  Our stay is coming to a close though and I am trying to adjust to the idea.  So you can enjoy it with us, here's a little of what we do from day to day...

 

Lots and lots of amazing baguettes, croissants and pain au chocolat.
