We’ve arrived in Aix and begun our year in Provence. Our daughter has bravely entered the doors of a new French school, it looks like I will be riding an electric bike to and from town and my husband is heroically navigating French bureaucracy. This place is as beautiful as I remember it. Our 20 year old language skills have been indispensable in the acquisition of a car, a bank account, an electricity bill in our name and a French phone number. Not to mention getting around town. The open air markets delight me to no end and the late summer heat calls for regular ice cream cones. It has already proved to be an adventure and we have only just begun!
