Took Nonny to see the arena and the streets of Nimes. We ate crepes and drank wine, Reese particularly liked the rose'. She is starting to look and act like a local... The pub had the Tour on so we got to see a second of it. Then I mistakenly peeked in a shoe store and an hour later and two pairs of boots later, and me loosing my cool (I admit I lost my patience when my mom tried on the same pair of boots four different times) we were rushing back to the house to meet one of our hosts for champagne. He talked and talked..in French. The words I understood were George Bush, Sarkozi, Obama...Apparently he likes America and American's very much, phew! He didn't like Chirac's stance on Iraq but believes that America and France have a long history as friends and we will overcome this mistake. He was very troubled to see on the news, American's pouring out French champagne in protest...I told him I would never pour out French champagne!
Nonny left yesterday and we were all sad to see her go!
