Hablo Ingles?

I'm going to France. Paris in fact. Its way more sudden than my last international trip... any international trip I've had. The Honey is a trooper and has taken it all in stride. I guess that's what comes of going where the company tells you to. He's even gotten good at saying no if he feels the request in unreasonable. But this is a project that we both agreed would be the opportunity of a lifetime and don't want to give it up.

That said, I have never been to France, never dreamed of going there, know nothing of the language, or what to do while there. I'm getting a lot of false sympathy about my nervousness but I'm dealing ok. A million tiny violins can break a string... all at once... WHAT? It could happen.

So I bought a book. Even though this book is printed in English I'm not understanding most of what is says so far. I'm hoping that the background on the places that they are talking about will come eventually or I am going to have to sit in front of the computer with the book and start looking things up. I don't know what blah place is compared to blaah place compared to blaan(which apparently in French still sounds like blah because they don't pronounce the last consonant) so its hard to keep track.

There will be coping and it will be fine. I'm a little off center from all the uncertainty going on in my life right now. I'm sure I will have a lovely time.

And yes I know that the subject line is in Spanish not French. I know *some* Spanish.
