Allez Les Verts

Dear readers, sorry I've been missing in action for a few days. We left Marseille on Tuesday and are now in Eric's hometown of Saint Etienne. I am so glad we have stopped here and don't have to lug around huge suitecases anymore...at least not until March.

Yesterday was the first full day in Sainté (the city nickname) and I love the area. He lives right downtown, and I love the walking streets and old French feel. There's snow everywhere and it's freezing, but every street is like a picture...I really need to go out a take some pictures of the snow.

So for the title of the post...Allez Les Verts....Lastnight we went to a football game. When in France, you must attend a football game....soccer for my friends stateside. I've been to a football game once in my life in Florence, and while it was fun, I didn't understand the excitement or interest in the sport. Lastnight I think I really got into it...in fact I was so into it, just writing about it now frustrates me...our team lost. I kept saying, they weren't being A-GG-R-E-SS-I-VE ! Reminded me of my old cheer days. Anyways, it was interesting. I wouldn't mind going to another game. I will give it to those guys though, it was freezing out there and fans were throwing snow balls on the field at players...so maybe that was their best under those conditions. I don't know. I would just like to see more fire/passion from them next game.....Now I'm getting crazy and obsessive!

Pictures of the snow tomorrow!
