Have you ever felt so happy you want to drop to your knees; weep and kiss the dirty ground? This is how I felt on Saturday. I went to Annie and Regis' house to celebrate the birthdays of one of their daughters (Marie) and grandson (Ludo). Just the fact that they invited me to such an intimate family gathering touched my heart. After the feasting and the champage and the Chinese liqueur (Litchi I think i's called?) and the decadent gateaux(cakes), we took a field trip to the countryside. My goodness. I can't imagine anything in the world being more beautiful than the French countryside. We drove through the greenest mountains, herds of French cows, sunflower fields, little random houses with blue shutters and flower beds spilling from their windows...I wish I could upload pictures but these computers are too slow!
I am so happy here. I don't think I knew this before, but I had a void that needed to be filled--and now it is. I seriously got teary-eyed like 10 times because of the overwhelming joy I felt inside. I'm in love--with a country!!!Who would've thought such a thing was possible...

Tu es amoureuse de mon pays!!!!
Comme je suis flattée et heureuse!
J'espère qu'on pourra se voir bientôt. Dis-moi quand tu viens à Paris ou quelque part!
Je t'embrasse,
Claire
I can't say I can relate but I guess to describe what you saw as 'beautiful' would probably sound like an understatement. I can't wait to talk to you! Write to me please!
Love,
your bff
