In an internet café in Montpellier right now. Updates are becoming wickedly expensive right now, as it takes a long time to type in English on a French keyboard. I am staying in an awesome homestay right now, fitted with a big old dog "Zazou." Am enjoying my time here: I much prefer to Portugal. Hoping to significantly improve my french, only wish I could stay longer. Probably have written far too much English because of my updates today. I'm trying to read, write, and speak only French, as doing so in English impairs my ability to learn. Going to Paris in 3 weeks just for a visit. Will update again later.
