Bonjour

In the theatre, performers are often happy if something goes wrong before the show because according to superstition, now the bad thing has happened and the show will go off without a hitch.  Right now I am sitting in my room, looking at my three hanging clothes and a few other miscellaneous items praying that is the case here.  Of all the things I was nervous about coming to France, the airport losing my luggage was not one of them.  But luckily I was greeted by my very welcoming host family at the airport who helped me as much as they could.  I went from freaking out over this luggage situation to laughing with my French family out on the patio as I enjoyed my first homemade French meal (which was amazing).  12 hours of sleep later, I am beginning a new day in France with high hopes that things will turn around.  Cross your fingers with me and maybe a few months from now this will go from being a pretty rough way to begin my time in France to a funny story to tell.
