Friday
I had hoped to spend the day shopping or visiting Lyon, but the weather had other plans. It rained at a constant pace throughout the day. I enjoyed a fresh pot of coffee, cleaned the apartment, and watched Christmas movies.
I went to the Bodet house for dinner around 8pm. The meal started later than normal because Yanza had rugby practice. Mme Bodet made a selection of traditional French sausages. I really enjoyed getting the sampler!
I asked the Bodets about the weather in Anthon this time of year. They informed me that it is almost always raining. It never snows. They said that the only places in southern France that got snow are in the mountains. I’m sad that there won’t be snow for Christmas. I’m starting to think a lot more about the holidays now. It is starting to sink in that I won’t be home to see my family.
