Slow News Week

Just like a regular teacher, when classes end, you sometimes receive some nice little gifts from your students.

So the past two weeks have been a little slow here in Paris as hockey is done for the year but we haven't really started our grand finale travel month. As we are heading back to Canada in just over a month, we have been spending quite a bit of time preparing for making the transition back to Edmonton as we will be arriving to a new house in Leduc as well as potentially new jobs. The result has been what could be the described as the "dog days" of our Paris experience. Here are a couple of the highlights.

• Some of my students wanted to thank me for my efforts and got together to buy me a french cheese cookbook (pictured above). It was a wonderful surprise and greatly appreciated.
• Romain and I got together for a couple of beers and nachos at the TGC pub to watch the Canadians wax the Slovaks at the World Hockey Champioships. France also pulled out a victory against Germany which was a nice surprise as well.

So yeah, almost sounds like a regular week back home. Fear not however as starting tomorrow, Mindy and I will be back to running around Europe, touring like crazy and maximizing this incredible opportunity that we have been blessed with. We will also be welcoming a few visitors to Paris (stay tuned to find out who they are) which we are really excited about. In the meantime, tune into the Stanley Cup playoffs and cheer on your favortite team, but don't forget to check back with us soon!
