Well, after leaving Britain we got on an hour and a half flight to France! Alex met us at the airport and we got a rental car and drove to her grandparent's house/farm. By the time we got there it was dinner time- 10:00 pm- which was really, really BIG! They have one dog, Ucla, (oo- claa) and Alex has a dog, Sydney. Her grandparents have a brown pony, a ton of rabbits, 2 cats, ducks, and chickens!
Our first full day in France Mom and Dad went to Paris to see the museums, and left Emily and I at the farm with Alex because we would have been bored. When they had left Alex took us for a ride...By attaching the pony to her cart! Alex knows how to drive the cart very well and we drove all around, looking at the beautiful French countryside.
When we got back to the farm we had a really good lunch of pasta and one of the ducks (roasted) with magnifique French bread. We planned afterwards that in an hour we would go to her great-aunts' house because they have a big pool. When it was time we walked over, said Bonjour and wow, was the pool big! It was a huge in ground pool with a cover over it, so you could swimeven when it was raining - it was very hot, though - and stayed there for about two hours before drying off and walking back home, where we hooked up the cart again, and this time took the dogs for a long walk.
When we got back Mom and Dad came home and we all had dinner.
Well, that's one of our really great days in France! The next day we all went to Paris.
I miss you all so much - see you soon!!

Bonjour mes amis! How wonderful to spend August in France - very Continental! I expect that it is hot, so I'm glad you've been near a swimming pool. Eat lots of wonderful French bread (and other delicacies)! Give Alex a hug and a kiss from me and tell her we miss her! Just two weeks to go before you return home. We are all awaiting your return with great anticipation!
