Today I went to "Super U" to get some shopping done with Mr. Suave. The size and purpose of Super U is similar to that of Wal-mart. It's very odd because it's right outside this beautiful small village called Bauge, small winding cobble stone streets, old houses and apartments. foot wide side walks....SUPER U!

So among other things, I purchased a cheapy little digital Camera. It was in my price range and it looks pretty hip, it's just the function that it just a little behind the times. No worry, no I can show YOU all what this beautiful place looks like, and that excites me.

Today was actually a very frustrating day communication wise and...well Mechanically. The tractor that I was to use for cutting the grass ended up having a flat tire, so we got out the old crappy tractor and after going through the motions at least 3 times to start the mower and having it fart out on me, I decided to give in and wait till tomorrow to mow that particular part of the property. The frustrating thing is that I couldn't properly communicate what exactly was going wrong with the mower, I think they knew though, it must have happened to them before. But it ended up being one of those "swear in a couple different languages and through your sweatshirt across the room" kind of moments. It's tough when you live at your job, in the middle of no where...in a foreign country...where no one understands you and visa versa. I mean I'm a very patient person and I've been patient with myself and with others as far as the language barrier goes, but today I just cracked and really didn't want to deal with anyone anymore, so I kind of locked myself away in the tower and listened to Adam Carolla and played Solitare...I'm still avoiding speaking to anyone.

I also bought some cheap and awesome shoes at the Super U, they're a size to big for me, so I'll probably give them as a gift to someone with big feet when I return....and also buy myself a pair that fits, they're really awesome shoes, they look like Toms, only they cost 6 bucks instead of 60.

I think I'll settle in for a while and watch some American Television. I think that'll help me "Escape" a little. and when i say watch American Television, I mean NOT DUBBED IN FRENCH!

Love to all.
