Last night when I received the acceptance email, I looked at the attachments. One was about my host family. They have one daughter who is still living at home and she is twenty-years old. They also have a cat and a bird. (I am so excited I get pets!) I will live in Brittany, near Rennes. The house is about an hour from the ocean and about two hours by speed train from Paris. The area of Brittany is covered with forests and rivers. the weather during summer hot and sunny and the winters are mild and humid. The school is not set yet but I am sure it will be great.

I have a phone call appointment on Monday at 3:30 Hawaii time to talk to one of the ladies at CIEE. That will be important. She really wants to help me get all the way in.
