babysitting

I just had a nice long post but the virus'd computer screwed it up. Someone was supposed to come fix it yesterday, now its looking like he'll come Wednesday or Thursday. I'm honestly surprised i've survived so long with out hearing from my friends, it better not be too much longer though...

Last night Marion and I babysat for a little girl who spoke French, Dutch, and English fluently. She is Dutch, has lived in Hong Kong where she spoke English, and now lives in Geneva (and Annecy on weekends) where she speaks French. For a weekend house it was very nice- furnished in that weekend house way with everything left over from your normal house, but still nice. After weput her to bed we watched "Lost in Translatin". It was artistic, but kinda boring. We also watched some of the Italy-Argentina Olympics basketball game and then Temptation Island (French Version) before her parents got back from dinner.

This morning I woke up early to say goodbye to Anne-Sophie before she left with her family to drive to Lyon for her myriad of flights to Sioux Falls, SD. When they were gone i went with our nextdoor neighbors (a couple with seven kids ranging in age from 4 months to 14 years) to our village church for mass. The church was absolutely gorgeous, their father told me the church its self is probably only (ONLY!!) 300 years old but the foundation was laid in the 11th Century. I went to their house for lunch and talked to them about the USA and Seattle as the father translated.

School starts Thursday! i'm scared!
