This last weekend was quite a pleasant one. I spent it with Christine who is kind of in charge of me. On Saturday we went down to Pau where the Pyrenees seem to be a stone throw's away. Christine's got two boys of her own- one is 11 and the other is 19, and then she's got a gentleman friend who has twin 6 year old daughters. I must say, the twins were so cute! They would babble on in French (of course) and at first I couldn't make out half of what they said, but I would say "ohhhh," or "ah ha" and smile and nod and that was enough for them!
One observation I made is that 6 year old girls are kind of like squirrels. They run around with no apparent destination and jump out in front of cars. The main difference is that little girls have adults who keep them safe, where as squirrels have really reached the end of the line.
Yesterday I went for a run around the soccer fields near my dorm, and a young boy decided it would be fun to take occasional breaks from the skate park and ride his bike alongside me and yell, "Allez! Allez! Vite, vite!" (Let's go, let's go! Faster, faster!) Thanks Pierre, like I need someone telling me I run slowly! I already know that!
