wow, I thought you were much closer (ie Paris being more reachable, if that's a word) than me. For me it takes about 40 minutes to get to the Invalides plus the 20 minute walk to the train station which I think is great (because I don't depend on a bus to get there or to my French course for that matter). all of the au pairs here (that's 3 excluding me) are unhappy about being in a suburb, maybe I am easier to please?? or I am used to a lot more, possibly, after all I spent a year in the middle of Wisconsin in the States and almost four in Stirling, Scotland with only one or two decent places to hang out at night (one could also count the cheesy music nightclubs, but I won't).

I guess I am quite tired in the evenings, also because I get up at 7am...

anyway, regarding Monday, yeah, I'd like to meet in Versailles! What about 11am or so? my train arrives at versailles chantier, perhaps we could meet thereabouts?
