An Adventure Francaise

A week ago I began a new summer adventure as I stepped onto a plane bound for France.  I am spending the month of July in Nice, on the hot and sunny Cote d'Azur (i.e. the south of France for all those who, like me a few months ago, have no idea where that is).  The purpose of this trip is to immerse myself in the language and learn as much French as I can in four weeks.  I'm doing this by taking French classes for four hours each day and attempting to dialogue with as many people as will put up with my limited language skills.  Despite being a student here, I'm also on vacation from work so I'm enjoying the opportunity to rest and relax, discover a new culture, and soak up the sun.
