Pirates!

Dear Monsieur Whiskers,

Have you ever seen pirates in France? Well, I have a shock for you. There were pirates running around in Apremont hier (yesterday). I have pictures to prove it. They were an energetic bunch, a few neighbors stared as they walked past. The pirates balade (strolled) by to meet another rowdy group for a fight to the finish. It was awesome.

Dans l'après-midi, I tried my hand at ratatouille. It's a popular french dish made up of vegetables such as d'aubergine (eggplant), de courgette (zucchini), de poivron (red pepper), d'oignon (onion), d'ail (garlic), and de tomate. C'étais délicieus!

Dans le soir, I went to Chantilly for a beer with some other au pairs. We met at this cute café called Le Syliva. There were 9 other girls around my age. It was good to hear about some other of the girls experiences of being an au pair. They meet up every Wednesday at the café in Chantilly. I know I will be back.

The plan for this weekend is to go into Paris and visit the Musée d'Orsay. Then that evening find a little jazz club and enjoy some French jazz music. Let's see if it all works out!

Until next time,

Raechel



This is moi.

This is Sarah, another au pair, chasing the pirates!
