On the road again...

Wifi again! (or weefee as people here tend to call it) Which means I'm back to using my English keyboard again, and apparently one month on a French one is enough to make me forget how to type properly. This post is going to take me forever with all the backspacing I'm doing.

So we had to say goodbye to our new friends on Thursday, and it really was quite hard...you can get pretty attached living together all day, every day for a month.

Dress up time.

Here's the wall when it was still in progress...

When they started on it, the only part that was cleared was around the doors and windows, but I didn't get a picture until it looked like this...

Here are a few pics we took before saying good night for the last time...

The whole fam...

So we were off to Auch...the trip was pretty uneventful. The kids did pretty well on the trains and both of the slept on the bus. Once we arrived in town and met our new hosts, Melanie and Pascal, they took us to a great little kid's park/playground so the kids could run for a bit after being cooped up all day. Then we tagged along while they ran a few errands before heading home.

We loved it in Rochefort, but the landscape here is just beautiful with all the rolling hills. The view just out the kitchen window is like a postcard. And once again, we've managed to find some great people to stay with. Melanie and Pascal have given us a warm welcome, we have a nice big bedroom (and the kids have their own beds too), and the kids have a new friend as well, our host's daughter, Anna.

A much needed bath after playing outside all day...(they couldn't be bothered to look at the camera because they were too busy watching Little Bear on the computer).

Oh, and tomorrow we're going skiing :)
