So it’s been three days since I’ve arrived and in this time I’ve just barely adjusted to the time change, altitude and language, gotten over jet-lag, and I’ve also managed to have my camera stolen.  How convenient!

I am living with my cousin’s family in Tignes which is a town in the Alpes just over the border from Italy.  It’s at 2000Meters so I can’t expect any summer weather up here.  But that’s okay - from what I’ve  heard, it’s been so hot in New England so I don’t think I’m missing out on anything spectacular — but I am a little disconnected from the rest of the world - so I could be wrong.

Anyway, there are tons of trails for hiking here and steep mountain roads for rollerskiing, so I will be able to keep myself busy.  Since only my cousin speaks english, I am forced to speak French which has been a little difficult, but it is getting much easier faster than I expected.  By the end of these next couple weeks I believe my ‘fr-anglais’ > français.  YAY!

 I will add some photos as soon as I can (hopefully) get ahold of a camera.

à bientot,

Corinne
