Hello Home Stay!

We got our home stay families assigned today.  Mine is a nice older couple named Franz and Marie-Claude Dupont.  I'm living with one other American student, Valerie Mnayarji.  She seems really sweet.  Our house is beautiful, I don't even know what to say about it.  The Duponts have the cutest grandchildren.  There are three of them staying here tonight, down the hall from me.  Even as I write this, they are trying to escape from bed to play some more.  Earlier, they were watching the Disney movie Tangled, in French.  The kids asked Franz if he would turn the English subtitles on so we could understand what the movie was saying and watch with them!  They are 5, 7, and 9 years old.  Tomorrow, we visit the king's palace with Marie-Claude! That will be AMAZING!
